Just out of interest Steve, did you put any tamper proof nuts on to fasten the roof rack?
I'll not sleep now tonight whilst I get some sorted. :-/
I've found these?
Would you be interested in some too?
Are they 6mm thread size? They have a 10mm head size so I'm guessing so?

I just used stainless steel nylock nuts on mine buddy, The rack looks ace another top job.

Tie a string with a few cans attached hidden under the Jimny, you will soon know if it moves .....

I'll pick up some nylock nuts from work tomorrow.
Lol, I like the tin cans, doubt I'd be bothered/remember to untie them in the morning :-0
I'll have to write just married on the back.

Hi Steve
I have seen those, I can get some for £4 ish on EBay. I'm quite happy to put some on rather than have the rack stolen, I'm just worried that I might have to put too much torque on the nuts to get them to shear off?
What do you think?
10 x M6 Security Shear Nuts BZP AF - 14.0mm - Anti Vandal Tamper Proof
Is this the correct size?

You should be ok for the torque, they dont take a massive amount to snap em off

I've been using the original nuts that don't have nylock inserts, so I thought I'd put some loctite on the studs to stop ant vibrations loosening them.
Well....I've put some loctite on that I've borrowed from work and have just looked up the type I've used (after I've actually put it on) and it's a high strength loctite to use in bearing surfaces and is hard to remove with standard tools.
Oh heck :-/
Well it looks as though it'll be hard to remove by any criminal or indeed myself :-/
I don't have any plans to remove it. So as long as the rack doesn't need any nipping up over time I'm hoping I'll be alright.
One day I'll read a label/instructions before I use it :-/ lol
