'Wheel Lock' Gary

Hi, i make and supply the T6 forum shop with the ''wheel lock'' or bolt shroud as known here.
As you are all aware it's a very common problem to have these wheels stolen so here's a quick and cheap solution to stop this from happening.
The ''wheel lock'' or shroud as its known on this forum prevents your spare wheel from being stolen when used with a security bolt. Your security bolt will be shrouded by the ''wheel lock'' preventing it from being undone with pipe/mole grips.
There's a welded nut on the side of the Wheel Lock to stop it being turned anti clockwise.
Which could loosen the bolt. Align it as shown in the picture shown below in Red.
Make sure you grease the bolt thread to stop it rusting then tighten the security bolt to at least 60 ft/lbs or 81 newton mtrs.
Any questions or comments just ask ??
