Maintenance & Repair: MISSING NUTS

Hi, I have had a problem with my lockable wheel nuts, and while undoing the
last of the lockable whell nuts, i rounded the "key nut" rendering the
lockable nuts useless. I need to travel 60 miles tomorrow, would it be safe
doing this with 3 nuts per side, as there is no way I can find anynuts
anywhere at this time of night.

I wondered if I did the wheels up extra tight on the remaining 3 nuts, that
should be o.k. ?
Cheers

You 'should' have four plain wheel nuts somewhere, possibly your tool
kit.

I read the subject title and thought you had a very serious personal
problem - glad to know its only an automobile problem and noy anything too
serious :-)

Your local scrap yard will let you have extra nuts for coppers. Until you
get round to them, take it easy and if a noisy wobble starts, pull over and
take a look at the nuts. The noisy wobble means something is working
dangerously loose.
