Oakes Spare Tire Wheel Lock on 2040-parts.com
Pooler, Georgia, United States
Oakes cast iron spare tire wheel lock WITH lock and key. Markings are:
Main housing: “B(?might be 8)10777” with what might be a “7” on the second line, far right.
Sliding part: “B(?might be 8)10778”
The lock reads “Oakes / Indianapolis” and uses a Yale key “OC431”
Date of manufacture is unknown but my Dad had this back in the 60's, so it pre-dates that. Housing has a few scratches and appears to have been painted over. This was all done before my Dad owned it.
I was told it was for a Jaguar Mk IV drophead coupe, which my Dad had, but the Mk IV spare is stored internally and already locked. One user on a Jaguar forum opined it was a ca. 1930 Franklin or similar era car.
The lock works, has one key, and its dimensions (max) are as follows:
Length: 5.25” (133mm)
Width: 2.25” (57mm)
Height: 3.75” (95mm)
Weight: 3” 6oz (1.5kg)
Shipping will be paid by buyer, shipped by USPS insured Priority TBD based on buyer's location. Shipping cost will be actual, no added charges. Tire lock is in southeast Georgia. Payment through Paypal goods and services only.

Skoda Superb at Geneva
Fri, 07 Mar 2008By Mark Walton Motor Shows 07 March 2008 17:26 What’s new on Skoda’s Geneva Motor Show stand?Skoda launched its second-generation Superb, aimed at the mid-sized, middle class Mondeo market. It’s a handsome car, with more than a little 1990s BMW 5-Series in it – from the way the bonnet meets the headlight glass, to the famous ‘Hofmeister Kink’ in the C pillar. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
McLaren P11 caught testing
Fri, 30 Jan 2009Proof of how far along the P11 is came today with pictures of the car out testing in chilly climes in Sweden (just like the next generation Porsche 911 (998) and the new Baby Rolls Royce, the RR4). McLaren P11 caught testing in snowy Sweden The McLaren P11 is a hand-built carbon composite 2 seater, mid engined car, with a target weight of only 1250kg. Power is likely to come from a Mercedes lump, and probably a tuned version of the 6.2 litre AMG found in the ’63s’, mated to an F1 style flappy-paddle gearbox.
