Lock Nuts

Hi racinrob,

The locking nuts that are sold for bull bar mounted lights are really not that secure, all you need to do is grab the body of the light and turn left to right this will most certainly loosen the lock nut, for $35 you can buy NYLOC nuts by the dozen and use these with a small piece of C channel to make it harder to get a spanner from below the bull bar.

Cheers Jim

Gday Rob! What's your address there, I might whizz around late one night and check them out! What size spanner is needed on those fancy lock nuts?? LOL! Enjoy your new Possum blinders.. Michael

The theft of driving lights are few and far between and I have never used anti theft nuts.

However what we do is replace the factory mounting bolts with socket head button or cap screws and the nuts with nyloks with Loctite 277.

The thieves will find it too hard to steal and as an added bonus they will not come loose over rough roads.

The best thing is to notify your insurance company of the new arrivals and take some photo's as support.

The other thing you can do is to put a earth loop wire to them connected to you horn via a relay...... when the wire gets disconnected the horn goes off.

Another thing I have seen is the nut with a small hole drilled in it, and in that hole is a grub screw, which requires and allen key to remove.

Also seen the nut welded on.

Put the nuts on, they will deter the spur of the moment thief, in a supermarket ect, ect, cheers Bill.
