Anyone know the key letter for this locking wheel nut?
I lost my locking wheel nut key and don’t have a note of the key letter.
Does anyone recognise which key letter fits this pattern of wheel nut?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks

I went along to the dealer service dept and they let me try the set until I found the correct letter.

and then proceeded to take off all the locking nuts.

I ordered a pattern H and it was a perfect fit.
Advice for anyone else else trying to match their locking nut to the patterns in the photos in the link above….
The key shape (viewed from the open end of the socket) will be the mirror image of the locking nut (viewed from the non-threaded side i.e. the end you see when the wheel is on).
I nearly bought key J but then realised I actually needed the mirror image key, H.
Hope this helps someone else out.
