Spare Wheel Security

(1/3) > >>

3laner:
I've just forked out nearly 150 notes for a spare wheel and tyre. I'm a bit worried by a few thefts getting closer to me of wheels off vehicles. The main wheels have locking wheel nuts but obviously the spare is a bit easier to steal. Will a locking wheel nut do for the spare or is there a better way of securing it from theiving hands?its a 1994 model with the orginal spare holder.

Cheers Alex

I have seen a few people with big chains and padlocks wrapped around the wheel and the carrier.

The bolts that stick out are thick enough for you to drill a hole through then add a padlock, thats what i had on the 110 and i will be doing on the 90, when i get round to getting the wheel carrier

littlepow:
i use a motorbike chain lock, sometimes a visual deterrent is worth more than the most advanced answer. Just have to convince the thieving scum to go for an easier target (cause yours will be too much hard work!)
