these any good?

anyone use one or any experience of them?

cos mine gets left outside my house for long periods of time, enuff for any fookwit to lob a disklok off so im thinking summit slitley more drastic when she aint being driven.

if they are any good the best place to get one? cossymad?

 

yeah there pretty good

has one on my RST

 

A proper DiscLoc is the bollocks mate and the thieving scum won't get round it in a hurry. Layer your security and you will be as safe as you can be.

I've got a Snap-Off on mine at the minute and it is good but does have a downside that it introduces a small amount of play between the boss and the hub. Now I don't use my car everyday I may well return to a standard boss.

 

i was thinking about the play issue

had some good and bad opinions on em, bit of a wedge to lay out for summit thats gonna annoy me

cheers chaps

 

i have one on the escort and i think the disc lock is better etc....

Its o.k outside the house but if you go anywhere, are you going to walk around with a stering wheel with you.


Dave.

 

I had a disc lock then a snap off and went back to the disc lock as i thought the snap off was poop due to the "play" in the boss

 

How safe is the Disklok anyway? I have one on mine, but still wonder how long it'd take a determined pikey to break the hinge and get it off... a small crowbar would have it off pretty quick I think?

I dunno.

 

Can't say I'd noticed any play on mine, and I'm a picky fooker .

Also, you just 'lock off' the wheel and secure it properly inside the vehicle....

 

I dont think you'd just break the hinge mate

there is a way of welding plates onto the back of them for additional security though.

I'd get it checked m8


I have a snap off on mine and there is NO play or extra movement only diffence is that the wheel is a small amount closer towards U so when indicating etc u have to stretch your fingers lol to reach the switches lol!

ps U HAVE TO BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR PEOPLE WALKING AROUND WITH A PIECE OF WOOD WITH 6 ALLEN KEYS BOLTED TO FIT THE BOSS SO THEY CAN STEER UR CAR AWAY

 

I've been thinking of a snap-off wheel, and figured you could stick the steering wheel in one of those "record bags" you see, or even a laptop bag, wouldn't be too much hassle???

 

very undecided now, but the idea of a missing steering wheel is appealling to me more, rather than some pikey coont breaking in jus to have a go at the lock and leaving me with a buggered door etc

so if fitted properly i shud see no play, cos im a picky bastid like bill lol

 

No play at all on my snap off boss and i've had it for 5 years

 

...and believe me, Spadgeroo is pickier than moi

 

Lol maybe a little Bill

 

My wheels already a bit far away from the switches as ive got a momo one fitted if i fitted a snap off i'd never reach them

Shame coz i want one!!!

 

so if fitted properly i shud see no play, cos im a picky bastid like bill lol [/quote]

as said m8 only reason it would do this is IF it had the wrong boss fitted possible

 

that's as far away as mine is m8 BUT u get used to it

 

wicked cheers fella

i have hoooge fingers so that aiont a problem pmsl!!!

 

No play in mine neither, also does anyone know where to get the cylinder lock on the wheel,the thing that locks it off.

Need a key or a new one.

Any numbers for Snap-off.

thanks.



Dave.

 

I took my barrel out as i can't see the point of that lock at all?
Just means pissing around with a key to take the wheel off

 

Does it not lock so the wheel cannot be put on.

So you can leave the wheel in the car and if someone trys to put it on,they cannot.


Dave.

 

i thought it was a safety thing, ie to stop you removing the wheel while driving lol, but to stop a wheel being put on sounds feasable too.

 

They are a worth while investment, and are very difficult to overcome.
If you read the instructions and look in the box properly, you will find little coach bolts that you snap off in the head of a couple of the allen bolts, ensuring no-one can just unbolt the attachment and slap on a wheel from a sierra/ escort etc.
If you need to remove it, you drill it out....hassle??? Not really it's easy to do, and you will have the time/ equipment to do it. Potential theives may not.

 

Fook i took them bits out of the allen bolts... Thought someone had broken them.

 

How can I cure the play I've got in mine?

 

If you snap off those bolts how do you remove it if you need to?

 

are they universal, as there is one on ebay at the mo.

are they all the same and fit every car, or do you need a different one for each model??

 

mine has little ball bearings that you force into the allen key holes,just hope it doesnt need removing

 

now watching

 

so are they universal???

will any snap off fit any car??

 

No play in mine either!

It can be an arse going somehwere as you cant really carry it round without looking like a tool

 

i thought they came with a bracket/clamp you weld/bolt into the boot, and the wheel is locked to that????????


and

ARE THEY UNIVERSAL?????????????????????????????

 

Yes they are universal!
You bolt the boss from your steering wheel to one half and the wheel itself to the other half!

 

thankyou mr spade

wes rs, you can have it mate lol, id personally buy a brand spanker, just incase it has any probs, bits missing etc.
