TAMPER-PROOF DZUS FOR THE SEAT COVER?

el-nicko · Post by **el-nicko** » Sat Sep 22, 2012 11:01 am

I'm thinking of re-placing my lost rear seat cover with an expensive CF one from M/Works so i'm looking for a pair of these for added security. Hex drive but with one of those little pegs up the middle to make it tamper-proof. Does such a thing exist? I've trawled 'the net' to no avail. Can anyone help?

What about the ones with the little looped 'handle' on. I assume you'd be able to remove the loop from the screw once it's installed, thus making it more difficult to remove.

Never seen a Secure-hex like that.

But - you could always fit hex like that, and fill the centre with clear silicon?

About as secure as the pinned torx sockets, which you can break the pins off - quite easily.

Now, that's a good idea

But Al he could use that to get the silicon out

Sorry Nick, Al's right, if the tamperer comes packing stationery, you're fcuked

Thing is boys, I'm still smarting from losing the original seat cover and I don't intend to lose it's replacement by having it pilfered. Especialy so if I've sacreficed body parts for a CF one. Anyway, I've checked the dimensions of the new OE Dzus fasteners that arrived yesterday and they look to be 'specials' and a lot different to any I've found on tinternet. So..., what I intend to do is modify them by mounting them in a lathe and drilling a 2mm hole in the screwdriver slot and driving a peg into it thus making the originals 'tamper-proof' insofar as any 'oportunist Johnny' with a coin won't be able to 'liberate' them. Then all I need do is cut a notch in a penny and carry that on my bikes key-ring. That should foil the thief and I'll still be able to remove them when the need arises. Problem solved. Jobs a good un.

Is that legal?

Nick there was a thread here where a ni lock was used to make it a chore to remove - a chore for the tea leaf that is
