wheel lock nuts for spare tyre

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
AutoBahn

just about any auto accessory shop will either have, or be able to get in for you

Yep, I see them everywhere. Where have you tried?

Gday
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

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

For whatever reason the spare wheel nuts are 10mm, whereas the other 4 are all standard 12mm

Oh thats right they have the nut on the 10mm thread, Ive always thought drilling and tapping a 12mm x 1.25 thread
then you can have studs ready to go, just a small tack weld on the back to keep in sitchu. lol
