Does anyone know the correct stock number for the Gorilla lock system for the 2010 Grand Sport?

Don't know why it would not be the same as for all recent Corvettes, have you checked the Gorilla on-line catalogue?

I ordered mine direct from Gorilla as nobody I could find sold the set I wanted retail (20 matching nuts/locks with two mathcing keys).

I know the size is 12X1.50 and I'm guessing the cone seat is a bulge acorn?

Here's a part number from Summit Racing. They are chrome and come with one key.

Swapped out one at a time and snugged each to 80 ft/lb then repeated at 100 ft/lb , in the proper pattern. Re-torqued again after putting a few miles on it.
