I've found some aftermarket ones off fleabay which are 6mm thick which should fit so I'm going to give those a try. The only others I'd located - 2 separate sets (1 @5mm and 1 @ 7mm) had an internal diameter of 5mm, and the AE axles are approx 4.7mm, so the hex's wouldn't clamp tight.

If looking for hexes on imperial axles, look for TC3/NTC3 and XXX-S hexes. I'm guessing that touring cars standardised on 12mm wheels after those cars came into production.
