Does anybody know where to get locking wheel nuts for a '92 Excel SE?

Standard 19mm McGards from Halfords (or any other motor factor) will do the job - that's what I use on mine.

If you have a '92 you probably have Oz wheels.
Oz wheels have different wheel nuts to earlier model - maybe they are different shapes.
If you look at
http://www.sjsportscars.co.uk you'll see they offer different nuts for Oz wheels and then all other wheels.

Mine are OZs too - the McGard 19mm work fine - parts manual shows them as wheel bolts, not nuts though (it's been a while since I took mine off so I can't remember) - the earlier wheels (both types) look like they have nuts going on to studs.
Simplest thing to do is pop one out in the car park and take it in with you.
