Hey Mr. Speedwell first of all nice collection!!

Secondly I notice you have a BRM key ring in the background. What is the history behind it, as I picked one exactly the same from an OCTO meet whilst on vacation in SoCal. I have never seen another one like it until now, are they rare??!! Wink

yeah , they like the newer porsche locks , but once you have them on and have taken the "key" away an alloy wheel nut screws on !!
so unless you get real close , you cant tell theyre lockers Smiley

there is a wierd thing that goes down the middle of the "key" , it looks like i will have to carry a spanner to get the "key" off once the lock is in place ??

The key has a series of pins that fit into the holes on the threaded "washers." You screw the washers down using this key and then put the nuts over them.

i understand what your saying , thats like a "normal" porsche locker (i think mcgard make them for porsche .

but mine have an extra part .... threaded like it must screw onto the stud aswell .

i cant describe it , will have to take pics  Roll Eyes

i got pics !!!

these two parts are what stay on the car . the lock , and the nut that covers it ....



and this is how it looks on the wheel ...



the rest of the pix are of the 3 pieces needed to fit/remove the small lock part ...





you can see the thread inside the silver part .
i'm thinking the silver part screws onto the bolt , and turns in the lock part too , then i remove the silver part with a spanner , and slide off the key part ??

can see why i cant just forget about the silverpart and just have a lock , and a key like normal lockingnuts Huh

Not really - they were made a few years ago and you could buy them through Karmann Konnection and at most swapmeets. Nothing to do with Speedwell or EMPI... Smiley

The Silver part is only used to hold the key in place while you tighten the first part of the lock witch holds the wheel then remove the silver part and key and screw on the second part of the nut. the silver part is used to hold the key in tight so you dont sheer off the pins hope this helps Grin

crazy idea !!
why not just make a 1 piece key ??
so i was right , you do have to mess about with a spanner , or trying to fit the wheelwrench on a 3mm nut  Roll Eyes

I have been waiting for these for a while and today they were on the doorstep when I came home. The plastic ones that come with these wheels just did not do it for me.
