Also they look pretty expensive, the UHS bolts are £7 cheaper here:

Looks like a scam to me. Ts&Cs refer to California Online Privacy laws. Then further down reference is made to the laws of Florida (?!)

Lorcan or Roy at CA Technologies (01202 822 792) can help with decent security bolts and the correct length.

I ordered from this site, they took ages but were eventually shipped from France after I initiated a dispute with paypal. The problem was when they did finally arrive the package was damaged and a bolt was missing. Couldn't get any response from the company either so initiated a return via paypal, but they made me send them back to the US return address even though they never came from the US. The postage cost a fortune as it needed to be tracked but luckily I used the free returns thing in paypal so it was free and paypal refunded the payment once they had proof of delivery.

The bloke is a joker but if you paid with paypal you will get your money back if you don't receive them.

I did the same after the McGard ones failed even though they’d only been fitted by hand and always torqued correctly by myself.
They’re are less secure than the McGard ones with only 10 combinations as apposed to 20 but when you see the McGard ones removed within minutes with an £80 tool you realise that either is pointless other than informing the insurance you’d had them fitted.

So Quick Update My Locking Bolts Turned Up Eventually,
Mcgard 43mm Thread Length Which Matches My Other Bolts.

If You Do Order From These Just Be Patient They Should Turn Up..

But They Do Not Respond To Emails...!

Thanks All For Your Comments....

What is this £80 tool? And does it even work on the Mcgard UHS bolts?

It is very easy with the right tools but it makes a lot of noise and takes some time. Not very inconspicuous that's for sure.

Let’s face it they can take the whole car in a few minutes now so hopefully won’t waste time to just take the wheels.
