Hi all,
Hopefully this makes sense!
We have
Dunlop tyres on our Windsor Rapid that have security nuts on the wheels. Instead of being hex (6 sides) its 5 sided.
I think we need the allen key attachment to go on 1/2 inch socket drive. Anyone know where we can get one? The guy that sold us the van said he gave it to us but he didnt.
Have tried Ebay, tyre shops and tool shops and no one has any.

Had a similar problem in
Tennant Creek Tried a Stilson wrench and couldnt get the round nut off.
The local Bridgestone guy came down with a socket that was a reverse of an Ezeout. What I mean is it was grooved inside so that when you screwed it "off" it gripped
the nut and undid it.
Would be worth seeing if a tyre place has them.
I took all the security nuts off and binned them as they are just junk really.
Perhaps I shouldnt have put them on with a rattle gun LOL
