You can get away with a tight fitting or interference fitting bolt which you have to hammer/press into place and once padlocked the bolt is going nowhere anyway.

my son used to work at formula 4x4 before they went bump and he says the locks on the stainless covers aren't very good as they are easy to break

about three - four years ago 4x4at bought the company off the administrators and moved the stock from Stone in Staffs to Leeming Bar in North Yorkshire and made everybody redundant - they still run the old Formula 4x4 website but from Leeming Bar

Was going to go with helijohn bolt plan as it an elegant and simple solution, however due to price of bolts / padlock adding upto around £15 and the hassle of painting it all went for the bike lock through carrier and "spoke holes" in steel rim.
