Locking wheel nuts

I have put some time in recently on the subject of locking wheel nuts for my F4's.
Thread of 10x1.25 seemed to cause a problem. Found a supplier in France who did nuts with a 12x1.25 thread but they were not interested in doing some with 10x1.25!!
Had been in correspondence with petak and through him had located a supplier in UK off Ebay.
I was additionally looking for both 45 degree taper for my R5 Alpine and Turbo wheels and 60 degree taper for most aftermarket alloys.
Found someone prepared to do some machine work for me and progress was made.
Picture 1 - locking wheel nuts off Ebay.
Picture 2 - R5 Alpine wheel nut and taper extended locking nut.
Picture 3 - Aftermarket 60 degree taper and modified locking nut

Taken some time but think resolution has been found.

Speaking about wheel nuts, does anybody know where to find longer 10x1.25 wheel studs?
 
In my search on the internet I did not find longer studs.
10x1.25 seems to be an unobtainable item.
