So three parts to this: (We are talking lock/clamping devices to stop wheel rotation)

1) Do you use a Purpleline Excaliber Wheel Lock? If so I'll follow up with some specific questions.

2) If your Eriba has covered wheel nuts then locks that use a replacement wheel bolt what lock do you use AND will the hub nut cover plate still fit or do you have to swop wheel bolts?

3) I currently use a Bulldog Euro clamp so it is off my radar/enquiry but your comments etc. may help others.

We have steel wheels and use the purple line nemesis lock. As the replacement receiver bolt has a conical seat and the wheels require ball seats, I got some conical to ball conversion washers ( only need one but got a set of 4). Left the bolt covers on the remaining bolts. The plate fits fine with these fitted. Also ditched our plastic wheel trims. I did order up some additional washers which pack out the lock to give a nice snug fit against the wheel rim. All works fine on our’s.

This would do it. More common in the US, and cheaper but the postage is a killer.

I use a Milenco Wraith on steel wheels. The receiver bolt does not allow the plastic wheel trim to stay in place without making a hole for the new bolt. I just leave the wheel trim hanging on the garage wall pending the (hopefully distant) day we sell.
I had a long e-mail exchange with Milenco over their statement suitable for steel or alloy wheels, as they only supply a conical bolt for alloys. They were no help in supplying the correct bolt just saying their engineers were working on it. In the end I turned up my own spherical to taper conversion washer.
The lock works fine but only on a naked steel wheel.

Thanks for the replies so far.

I've been digging as well and short of cheaper wheel clamps that have questionable performance for the weight loss my long serving Bulldog Euroclamp SS500 is not going to be retired. It's weight is only a little more than the Excaliber ( 5.6kg vs 3.9kg = 1.7kg = 3.7lbs). Excaliber would be nice but not even Purpleline can answer if it stops an Eriba wheel from rotating (remember Alko chassis differences). The Euroclap is a doddle to fit/remove (15 seconds) and extremely secure.

This quest all came about as since 2002 we have had no motor mover fitted but this year had a Reich Pro 2.0 fitted. So we lost around 35kg to 40kg of load capacity. This resulted in a good clear out, new lighter weigh chairs and tables, etc. so we are within our 1000kg axle rating (as measured before last outing loaded up) but more would still like to lower/optimise the permanent/required payload.

For example Eriba's are notoriously difficult to safely jack up to change a wheel at roadside. The axle base is curved, chassis members difficult to locate on etc. So at home I have decent pro trolley jacks. But for away from home I have a bottle jack and a scissor jack onboard to cover all eventualities and safety. Bottle jack weighs 3kg and the scissor 2.6kg. All these add up and use up the limited Eriba payload capability. See the Replacement Axle thread :)

Don’t know about the Purpleline Excalibur, but the Nemesys certainly stops the wheel rotating (eventually). The wheel will rotate about 140 degrees before the bar contacts the chassis in front or behind the wheel. This appears to be acceptable to insurers.
