wheel lock nuts for spare tyre

[Gav72]

Hiya
I'm suprisingly having trouble sourcing a (anti theft) l ocking nut for my spare wheel on my 06 patrol.
Anyone know where i can source 10mm lock nut...

Supercheap
Auto1

Autobarn - only have 12mm they could order. No 10mm
Supercheap - same as autobarn.
Outdoor4wd - none
Bursons - none

Perhaps i'll try nissan or use a padlock

Mr Nissan was very helpful & put a hole for a padlock, so that is what I used.
Do many people get their spare wheels stolen?

X2 Give it a squirt with WD40 now and again just to keep things operational.

I would have thought the wheel studs on any Patrol would be 12mm x 1.25 pitch,
where does this 10mm measurement come from.
X 2 with @GeeYou8 how many ppl want to steal a rwc spare tyre, IMHO not worth the effort
Is it a STD nut you're after or one to suit a mag wheel

Or wrap in cling wrap as best you can to keep the weather out,,,,lol

Actually that is not as funny as it sounds. I have an outdoor rated if you like pad lock which I squirt a bit of wd40 into, then it is behind a spare Nissan centre cover I have and has a wheel cover over it. I don't mind having to dig out a bit of red dust to change the wheel but I would not like to get stuck with a rusted padlock.

maybe even a zip lock bag and electrical tape, you may not need it but when you do you want it to work. eh lol

Products like KayMar swing away wheel carriers have a plate with an arm welded to it that
protrudes out the back,,,this has a hole for a decent padlock, would not be hard to do using
a STD RWOD bracket
