I would be disapointed in the dealers if they cant supply you wirh a new one.

Give them a ring.

Do you mean the unlocking 'socket' or the wheel nut with the locking holes? :-/ :-/

Either way I reckon it will be easier to get a new security bolt set complete. :D ;)

unlocking socket

Will it still remove the nuts OK? If so I would carefully remove each locking nut and replace with the normal plain nut (should be in a box with the locking socket) in case you end up stranded.

Buying an aftermarket locking nut set is probably the best (and likely cheapest) option. Unless you could get the crack welded up ?
