Title: NEED HELP
Post by: floatn turd on March 19, 2008, 06:50:01 PM: I am looking for a way to "make" or "buy" locking bolts for my blower studs, to lock my blower,inter-cooler and carbs down to the manifold. So some piece of crap does not undo 8 bolts, cut my lines and walk away with all my shit. I want to keep my engine whole when i go to start my boat in the morning. I was thinking of having some "star" or "hex" bolts made so at least you would need a special tool to take off the bolts. Kind of like "wheel locks", If anyone has any ideas or knows of any products or info on how i could do this , please let me know.
thanks for your help

HELP ME TAKE A BITE OUT OF CRIME.

Talk to the carpenters or maintenance mechanics @ your work, they can hook you up with some vandal proof button heads, like the kind you find all over the joint. Should keep 99.9% of the thieves at bay
