I've been looking, the only thing is they come as part of the kit on the old ones 
I've also just brought a genuine set from MiniSpares so don't really want to pay £20 upwards just to use the lock tabs

wonder if it would be possible to weld / tack a tab on it ?
would be fiddly thou
if you did , it maybe an idea to put a plastic sleeve on it so it don't rub

I'm really looking for a "bolt on" solution but if I cant find anything its something to consider

Didn't that MOT Tester say you have to modify the originals cause the factory didn't know what they were doing? I think he was say you have to fit Nylocs,,,,
