Winch security

This SEEMS like it may work

LOL!

Ya right. I doubt that would take a hit from a rubber mallet and survive, let alone a rock or steel hammer.....

Give it a weld. And make sure is covered by insurance and documented so it can be replaced.

Welding a mounting bolt is a quick way to ruin the Grade 5 rating of the bolt.

True. But I would not loose too much sleep over a tack that holds the nut to the bolt to prevent it from turning. I would not heat the entire bolt up. Plus you only need to tack one bolt to make it secure, the others would be untouched, this is just to keep a thief from pulling it off with a set of wrenches one night.

I guess you could put two nuts on, and tack weld the nuts together.

Buy locking nuts they have a dimple on the side of the nut put some Leak Lock (from your local heating/cooling store) on the threads. Between the leak lock and the lock nut you will need a nut splitter to get them off.

The scatter shield idea. Just take some 1/4" or 5/16' stock and put 2

90 degree bends in it and tack it down over the bolts. Thats what I am going to do. That or. hehe, this is kinda neck, but weld a chain to the plate and back to the frame, or just loop a chain around it and lock it.

Tack-welding a piece of scrap steel over one of the bolts is a better way to protect it.

OW!!

RoyJ did pass the time by typing:

Actually you could do the same thing but instead of a bolt welded through, just use a padlock.

The 357 seems to be a combination that works on nearly any lock
