Default Locking wheel nut issue...

Hi all,

the problem is I've lost the nut for the locking wheel bolt so I can't remove my S2 wheels from my erst as I want to put my RS7 spokes on!

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get them off. I don't want to 'easy out' them if I can help it... Is there anywhere I could get a nut that would fit? Ive tried Speedshack and they can't help.

Heres a pic of the offending bolt (in situ)



Cheers for any help offered.
