Locking wheel nut key replacement for cyclones?
#14
We tried welding a hex nut to it today - various sizes - all failed. My brother is skilled with a mig, but the size of the nut, and the lack of access due to the alloy wheel closely surrounding it, made the welding conditions less than ideal.

The other bolts on each wheel were tightened to over 100nm, and when we used a breaker-bar on the welded hex nut, it broke the weld. Repeatedly.

Nothing for it but to let Peugeot ra*e me for £50 for a replacement key. Dodgy
