    Just the standard wheel brace should do it mate - they're the same size and the wheel lugs. Assuming you're meaning auto hubs of course?

    You don't learn if you don't ask questions. No judging here, feel free to ask all the questions you need.

    there is a nob in the dash which is half hanging out, would that have been for auto hub locking that once may have been fitted?

    That is idle adjustment pull it outward to up the idle then clockwise to lock it in position.
    Anticlockwise to unlock it and let it go back in.
    Handy when warming up the engine or when tackling rough stuff off road once locked you can keep a slow steady speed without touching the accelerator pedal
