Wheel clamp - is this a commercially available product?

A'rrr
Graham this site is slow you soon get beaten to the post.
But hey too minds the same didn' take long to figure how to knock it off LOL.LOL

Well it took nearly 10 mins for me to post that reply Got several errors and timeouts.

Every other site is OK GETTING FRUSTRATING

Thanks Graham.

Mh

umm rather than let down a tyre why not just undo (unwind) the nut on top as per normal jack operation.Then you dont have to pump up tyres to tow you stolen van away lol. :.)

NSNGOOD

Yes you are correct in standard it's form but If you read the original post as per Motherhen
she wanted to modify it a locking mechanism so no one could undo it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can already buy clamps which wrap around the wheel and cover the nuts as well so you cant remove them. They vary in price from $49 to about $149
depending on price.

Snoopercheep have them.

The main attraction for us was as an immobiliser. Using as an anti-theft device was an afterthought - at the time i hadn't considered the inguenuity of a potential thief, and i do think that the tyres would need to be deflated considerably to release the clamps.

Mh

likely a stupid question but whats the purpose of "immobiliser" if not anti-theft?

Is a bit if you have done any vanning.

The purpose of it is to locate the van on a not so flat site so it doesnt run away.

Same as using the handbrake really.

Same as chocks but different and a bl**dy sight more expensive.

Is basically a scissor Jack but has curved ends.

You could well weld some plates on one considerably cheaper.

Good point, one of which I initially agreed with however after further consideration I found the following:

immobilizer - 5 dictionary results

–verb (used with object), -lized, -liz·ing. 1. to make immobile or immovable; fix in place.

(Source - Dictionary.com)

And the point of the grammatical lesson is
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

By preventing the wheels from moving you effectively stop it from being moved
Surely it is then effectively "ïmmobilised"
or is it just usual nit picking

No-my tent has a design that naturally resists rolling away. and by not fitting a tow bar to it, it is harder to tow away :-)
thats kinda what I was looking at Graham. Chocks would seem to be the logical and easy way to achieve that?
There must be a reason why someone would use that setup just to stop it rolling away-otherwise noone would buy them?

Thanks DIO-I think. Us simpletons might be need further deciphering of your meaning though??
