Title: stainless Spare wheel Rims
Post by: petergalileo on February 11, 2006, 18:33:07

Just bought a Disco spare wheel rim part number STC8136 but the keys to the lock are missing,  I have stripped the lock, but just wondering if these locks are available anywhere ?

Thanks Guys

Is it the locking wheel nut you are after?

I'm sure your local car parts shop or Halfrauds would be cheapest if that's what you are after  :wink:

No, the stainless steel ring that goes around the tyre has a lock on it, havent got the key and its been forced so need another lock barrel.

ok if you picture your spare wheel.  Most have a vinyl cover, mine has a stainless steel rim going round it with a catch and lock at the bottom.

Picture is of the ring upside down showing the catch, the lock is on the catch.

Hope that helps.

Now I see  :wink:

For a spare key, you would need the lock number (usually printed on the lock somewhere) and the manufacturers details...... Are there any markings on it anywhere?

Failing that, you could fabricate a new bracket and use a padlock, but that probably wouldn't look as good  :cry:

Lock has been forced but its a genuine land rover part.  number STC8136

I have found a couple of locks on eblag but they will be a bit too big but it would be good to get the correct one.

Might be worth approaching your nearest Main Stealer, seeing what they can offer then getting the part number(s) and shopping around.

Well I found a couple of locks on eblag bit they are a bit too long really, might brave going to a main dealer tomorrow waiting for confirmation of second mortgage as we speak.

Failing that, I was thinking of welding an eye to the catch and using a padlock but it wont look as good.
