Hi people,
Reading this part of the site really upsets me. I understand that kids will be kids and if you leave things lying around there is a chance that it will go missing. That's the way it is nowadays. However to have to contend with people patrolling car parks and homes to rob them for fishing gear is not something I am used to.
Which brings me to my question. Being not as mechanically minded as most, what is the best way to lessen the chances that my trailer lights will go missing? Are there special bolts that can be used. Is welding an option? Can they be mounted into a small custom made steel/ally box that is then welded to the trailer to restrict access to the vulnerable bolts? Do you fill the bolt heads with some sort of epoxy? Do you file them down?
Please offer any solutions that you may have. I have just shelled out some serious dough for some hella 2379s for an upcoming trip. I work seven days a week, most weeks of the year but get three months off in winter so am about to head off into the abyss and want to maximise the chance of returning to the boat ramp and a roadworthy trailer each day.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
