Just in the process of trying to buy some locking wheel bolts from ebay for my ZT-T SE260 can somebody help & tell me the length width & running gear that the 260 uses so I can buy the right bolts.
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks

The bolts are the same for all ZT's and 75's and I think are on the 75&ZT site somewhere.

i did order some bolts off of ebay some stainless ones and they were 5mm to long, i ended up turning the ends off to the correct lenght, so if you get some, check this first against another one.

Only one thing to seriously consider Ged the back wheels will be on and off a lot they need to be torqued to near 125 ft lb and tend to tighten up in use so do you really want locking bolts?

I have done the opposite on my cars and gone back to ordinary bolts all round.

for the V8 keep an eye on the condition of all bolts and as soon as any begin to wear replace them ditto any locking bolts I had a rounded off one on mine when I bought it and it was a pita to remove!

Just one caveat Keith.
Any car with nice wheels parked overnight on many streets or car parks in cities will result in them being stolen if not securely locked on. There are many places where just leaving your car for half an hour will result in it being wheeless on your return.
It's OK for us country bumpkins with off road parking and garages but not all have these facilities.
