Licence Plate Then Tyre Theft Protection?

[Leon.T]

Anyone know good ways of stopping ppl stealing licence plates or tire valves??? Getting sick of missing tire valves.

[DECIM8]

tyre valves with grub screws in them (ebay - type in skyline) and licence plate screws the same avaliable from repco

Ahh, I'll try repco...I heard using 1 way screws...but are a b*tch to take off from the licence plate.

yea try ebay theres alot of stuff that can help like the other fellow mentioned theres a few good things on ebay that have been designed for tyre and plate protection

those grub screw ones arent that crash hot....ive had them nicked too. Look for a type that come with a plastic key like a claw that are required to undo what i can only describe as a child proof lock... i ordered them from the US a year ago but havent put them on as magically people stopped pinching mine!!! touchwood.

for number plates i use TORX security bolts. you can get the bits to do and undo them from most tool shops, but its highly unlikely that anyone going around nicking plates will be carrying one of the bits on them.

2nd the tamper torx idea. much harder to get off unless you wish to carry a set of sockets around.

+1 for the torx screws for the licence plates

as for the valve caps, just put on a set of the plain black plastic ones (no one steals them)

Yeah mine the plates are held on by the screws that require an allen key to undo, the guy who had it before me had custom plates on it.

Where do you get these from? Wouldnt mind some for my rear plate. My front uses allen key bolts so fine there.

Bunnings?

I just bought a pack of 10 stainless including the key for $17 at a bolt/fastener shop.

Took a few shops before I found them.

The ones I'm using are for a R34 stock mounting points and are M6 25mm long. They don't need to be that long but the longer they are the longer it takes to get em off.

Couldn't find them at the usual hardware's or even at some of the bolt shops.

Brand is Endevour security fasteners.
