Locking wheel bolt key

This is a long shot but here goes. My locking wheel bolt key has broken and new ones are on back order, however the OPC has a new set of bolts and key which would be great if I could get the old ones off [:mad:]. I'm going away for weekend tomorrow evening and would feel safer with the new set on.

Apparently there are only 20 different combinations so if any one has got the one with prefix ABC and the other number ending PXX074 (The XX part is just the year of issue eg. 10, 11, 12 etc) I would be extremely grateful if I could borrow it for 10 minutes just to remove my old bolts. The number is etched on the top of the bolt key.

TIA
Andy

PS: the OPC master set is missing the one I want [:(]
 
They're clearly cracking locking devices if an auto locksmith can't remove them. [:D]

How about trying another Porsche Centre for a master key? [8|]

Other than that it'll be brute force and ignorance (but not much of that about in PCGB though! [;)]

Regards,

Clive.

If they had a proper key slot or were electronic we'd be laughing [:D]
 

Just a thought Andy but have you tried popping into one of the tyre factors - they may have one of those bolt removing tools which will enable them to remove the key for you.

Thanks. Yes I did think about that but they're not ideal and can mark wheels so I would have preferred the proper key if possible
 
Thanks Cecil. I managed to get old ones off and bought a new set of later type which have been restructured for strength
