if u buy another set u will have the same lock key - yes.

i dont think u can buy the lock key by itself, or will b rather hard to find somone that will sell just the key.

best bet is to borrow key from somone. all the best.

what? are you trying to say anybody with rays nuts can undo anybody else's rays locknuts?
correct me if im wrong, but I beleive there are 3 different keys, each one with the notch in a different position.
PM me if you are still having problems raz05, i think i may be able to help

from what i hear there are ones with the notch left centred, in the middle, and right centred.

not 100% sure though.

If you want an alternative to buying, I managed to make up a replacement key when we lost ours. First, get one nut off. Clean up the marks so its smooth, and if you can make a very slight taper to the open tread end.. Get a socket that fits into the wheel stud space, but is bigger than the nut. Clean it thoroughly. apply liberal amount of release agent to the nut. Sael the end which takes the bar. put a good epoxy glue in the socket and slide the nut into the socket. clean up the top edge. After its set, remove the nut - it should slide out with a bit of effort. You now have a key.

yeah i heard rays have 3 different size keys, 25, 35, 45.
what were you going to do with the old set?
if worst the comes, use a socket and bash it in. but hopefully you wont have to do that so good luck with that.
