Spare Wheel Security Not A Problem Use The ''wheel Lock''

['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 ??

Visit the T6 forum shop to buy the wheel lock/shroud and security bolt together.

Is there a reason you can’t just use a “standard” 3rd party locking wheel nut bolt. A bit dearer usually than the specific spare wheel one, but there are very many more locking head configurations. The standard “VW” type all appear to be of broadly the same security key (3 pins/ holes). If near-do-wells are thieving T6 spare wheels, I’m guessing a standard bolt and key set purchased online would enable them to easily undo & steal.

Set of big mole grips will clamp tight enough to defeat most "security" bolts hence the shield

Thanks ... yes ... but can one use an ordinary after market shorter locking bolt which will have more key variants than the one with three pins? I like the shroud ... as you say, stops molegrip attacks.

 

[Fluff34567]

Absolutely though the locking bolt is very long compared to a wheel bolt so not sure on other available options

You can buy lockers that have a free to rotate outer section, could be interesting

 

[Fluff34567]

The loose disc normally stops working with big mole grips

Hi Gary, are these still available? Thanks.

He's no longer a trade member on the forum, I'm afraid.

There is a similar product on the campervan bits shop. SpareSafe – T5 T6 & T6.1 Spare Wheel lock (inc Security Bolt) – CampervanBits

Alternatively, if you’re after the shroud as above, try this. I have one and looks to be the same. You will need the separate long locking wheel bolt, as mentioned in the listing, too tho.

The WHEEL LOCK is to help stop thief's from stealing your spare wheel from under your VW. The weakness in the standard VW design is there is NO security. Your locking wheel bolt will sit inside theWHEEL LOCK, making it impossible to undo without the owner's locking wheel bolt key.
