TAMPER-PROOF DZUS FOR THE SEAT COVER? SORTED!

Post by el-nicko »

Take one 5/32" carbide slot drill (turns out these fasteners are hard and 5/32" was the smallest we had) and grind a drill point on it....

Image

Mount the piece in a chuck and drill.....

Image

Image

Make a peg from an old 5/32" drill bit....

Image

Drive it in and Super-Glue it....

Image

Drill and notch a 2p coin...

Image

Fits tidy 'cos the 'slot' is actualy a quadrant of a circle the same dia' as a 2p coin...

Image


Jobble done, Tamper-proof DZUS :!:

Image

Now, all I need is a seat cover to replace the one that went AWOL last week. :lol:

Nick, looks good. For the pins I was thinking possibly use the rivet from a push bike chain - not sure of the diameter but they're pretty hard and I can get hundreds of them

:hal cheers mate, As I say, had to use the shank of a 5/32" drill bit 'cos when I tried to drill the 'DZUS' with a H/S centre drill it proved to be 'hard' and a 5/32" dia' carbide slot drill was the smallest I could find in the workshop so that dictated the size of the 'pin'. If I was to do another 'set' I would turn a couple of pins from aluminium stock thus avoiding having to coat/paint because of rusting problems. The pins don't need to be hard. Afterall they're only there to stop an unmodified coin being inserted. I have to say some of my mates have accussed me of being 'paranoid' and 'over the top' with this but I've learned from the bitter experience gained from living in a big city that if you don't nail stuff down, it will, eventualy, 'walk' :lol:
