Troddenmasses Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Having just bought a Sankey trailer and being in the process of building an off-road type trailer tent to go onto it, I am quite keen to stop the light fingered pikeys from having it away. I know that some people wrap a length of chain around the towing pintle loop, but have seen just how easily chain is cut with bolt crops, decided to have a go at making a security device to fit it. I have a small lathe with a little milling machine over the top, so had a go. It's not too bad as a prototype - the square plate on top has the cut out to stop the whole thing from rotating, which would make it easier to get the padlock off. If somebody wants the trailer, they'll just put it onto a trailer, but this was my go at stopping the opportunist. I remember an advert in the 1980's for the Remington "Fuzz-away" (so good, I bought the company), and have named this the Keir-ington "Scrote-away" Avaliable in any colour except orange.

madmatt Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 No disrespect but I doubt it will go Orang as there are numerous firms out there offering hitchlocks for Nato rings, so they could have done it before now. That said thats a bloody good home made version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
