It's just a suggestion, the price is fresking outrageous for what they are.

5mm ball bearings hammered into the hinge bolts, together with Nyloc nuts on the ones that aren't captive, will secure the doors as well as it's possible to do.
And only costs under a tenner.
 
5mm ball bearings

Silly ideas time,

Has anyone ever looked at using the 6mm plastic bb gun balls? OK only hard plastic, but at least they could be removed with time and patience if the owner ever wanted them off. But having to dig out the bb's on all the bolts would still take time and effort.

Cheers
 
Good idea!

Thinking out loud here, seeing as fender door bolts are recessed could one not add a thread to the recess itself and screw in a large grub screw type bolt?

Meaning you have to remove that before anything else. Removes immediate access to the door bolts, wont look terrible, easy to remove should the owner need too. At the very least itd slow anyone down.
 
stop my doors being stolen?

It's happened not too far from here, and will probably write off a 110.
I already hammered ball bearings into the hinge bolts, so they are not coming off.

Now l am told the scumbags can just tap out the hinge pins?? How can l prevent this? It seems a never ending story.

At the bottom of each hinge below the pin is a hole and l thought a ball bearing in there would stop the pins being tapped out from below.

Would this work? 5mm ball bearings (as used in the bolt heads) are fractionally too big so l ordered some 4.5mm ones. Anybody got any other ideas. Can the hinge pins be easily removed on a TD5 to get the doors off? The hinges look different to older models.

Getting a bit fed up with worrying about this stuff :-(

Why not get yourself a trunk monkey?
