Replacement end link nut

Anybody know where I can buy an oem replacement or one that fits. I bought an m10 and m12 nut and the m10 didnt fit and the m12 was too big. Its for the rear endlink btw.
This is on an unrelated note, has anybody had their wheel lock key kept by the dealer? I can't find mine in the garage or the car, and I took it in after I had used it to take off the wheels for the install. I am very certain I put it in the car after putting the bar on

Did you have an aftermarket rear end link replaced ?

I have the OEM factory nut here in M10 version. Maybe the hardware or threads were damaged.

Some of the aftermarket ones come with there own new hardware.

Thank you sooooooo much! I'm still using the factory endlinks. Maybe the nut I had had a different thread pitch, but that one is the one on the other endlink. It probably didn't fit because I'm trying to get it on with the wheel in place because I don't have my wheel lock key. Anyways, im ordering in a bit, thanks again

You are welcome. Glad I could help

If you need new wheel lock kit because they were misplaced or something , they are here. The bits for the muti tooth are coded and if you have the code you can get a replacement. Which type do you have ? I would also ask that last people to take them off. Also check your glove box, upper glove box, and tool tray in the trunk. maybe the armrest also.

There are two different types for the ( M14x 1.25 ) size : MINIs 7/2006+ prodcution ( which is your ). I don't know your type but here they are.

Wheel Lock Set W/ Lug Key (M14x1.25) - Priced Each Set

OR

Wheel Lock Set W/ Lug Key (M14x1.25) - Priced Each Set

And when doing the rear sway bar links you can use an open end thin face wrench on the inside and a box end wrench on the outside to tighten them up so no clunking.

Thanks

I have several used end link nuts I can sell you cheap.
For the wheel locks you'll have to go to the dealer and have them use the master set to find out what number key you need, then you can order the one you need.

I took them off last for the sway install. Looked everywhere in the garage for it, nothing. Then the car went to the dealer for timing chain problem, and they did some other stuff to it. For putting them on, I used a hex key in the middle and a wrench on the nut. Is that the wrong way? Not in either glove box, and I seriously doubt its in the boot tool box. Ill look tomorrow.
