Any body interested with the Oxford patriot Seat lock?

[Hirsch]

We collect our MH Saturday so will be fitting one next Tuesday if not Sunday

 

[Chocy boy]

Kev, I would be interested in some decals.

I would be interested in four.

Thanks Kev, the stickers arrived on Tuesday and have been fixed to the windows. The lock actually arrived yesterday and ‘the hole’ is being drilled today by my mechanic - good timing as the van was dropped off at the garage last night for a minor job to be done

Ginster - sorry can’t comment on this being an easy job - I did get all set up to drill the hole myself and realised I didn’t have the right size bit ! Took the advice on here and’ got a man’ to do!!!

Hi there. I have some of external stickers left if thats of help to you. The vinyl is quite heavy duty and long lasting
If you prefer the internal type..Give me a few days and I will order some from the printer

Let me know either way

Kev.

[Carolyn and Kev]

Oxford Patriot make a Motorbike lock that fits through the Brake disc. A number of us have fitted them to the swivel on the seat mechanism to prevent it being turned and driven off . A theft deterrent really. The only issue was that I thought the decal in the side window would help . Oxford Patriot do not supply them as yet but are considering it now its been put to them.
The decal was the first attempt from a guy DazGrafix . The problem being it was misspelt! He has accepted the c..k up and are now being reworked/replaced as we speak. Will be supplied tomorrow actually. Basically its a decal for the side window..like an alarm decal etc

Careful if you decide to splash out on this idea folks.

I tried mounting two different disc locks on my Aguti swivellers baseplate today and they were not wide enough. Bear in mind the m/c discs are pretty thin. I also tried a throttle lock and a long padlock, they didn't work either!

Hey ho, back to the idea's cave Robin!

the patriot comes in 2 lengths, did you try the short or long version?

 

[Bonkers the Dog]

Wasn't a length problem, it was a width issue.

There's a joke in there somewhere just itching to get out for a Sid James "fnar-fnar"!

The seat base plate is actually quite sturdy, the disc lock couldn't cope with the girth of it. Somebody stop me before I get another ban!

I reckon the seat base is about 7mm and the lock about 6mm. I could get the wee grinder out but I'm not that bothered. I've got plenty of security already and she's well insured...

It was more of an exercise than anything, if it worked goodo, if not, there's other jobs waiting!

 

[Hirsch]

I fitted mine today (should have took a photo I suppose but didn't finish doing other stuff 'til late). Just waiting on the decals. A big thank you to Kev and Carolyn.

Not sure why but I paid £20 for a blacksmiths 14.5mm HSS drill bit. Like a hot knife through butter.

The Peugot boxer (2009 AutoCruise Gleneagle) has a storage area under the drivers seat. The plastic tray even caught the swarf. Easy Peasy. Works a treat.

I am hoping that and the tracker will be enough? Possibly a tad optimistic?

Look at the pictures we have on here and on most fiat ducato motorhomes.thereis plenty of space as you can see with mine. Not sure without seeing a photo of yours turned around why you cannot fit it?

I’m guessing here.......

But it sounds to me as tho Bonkers the Dog has attempted to fit standard motorcycle disc locks, something in the style of the below, that would have the issue with jaw width.

and not the Patriot style lock.

 

[Nixdorfer]

For those insterest in getting some, these are what you'll receive

2x Clear labels and 2 white backing stickers. Got both varieties covered then

For the price whats not to like, and its spelt correctly now
Even it you fit them before you get the lock and just swivel the seat round for now its another deterrent to put doubt in the scrotes mind.

Thanks Kev and Carolyn for sorting these and offering them to fellow Funsters

 

[Revolvor]

I've got my seat locked with a "D" lock, but about to replace it with a Patriot + spacer.
I do wonder though how much of a deterrent the backward-facing seat is. If I put my seat-back fully forward, I think I could still sit on it and operate the pedals. I just wouldn't be able to lean back.

What are people's thoughts on that?

 

[Nixdorfer]

Depends on the van I suppose

Just tried it on ours and there is no way anyone is driving it with the seat facing backwards. The seat will only tilt to 45 before hitting the shower/toilet wall and leaves just enough room to squeeze your legs past the steering wheel. They would have to drive almost standing up which means they can't operate the pedals and their head is up near the parcel shelf. So unless nicked by an umpa lumpa we should be ok

If I can lock ours like that then its gonna make things very difficult for them

 

[Hirsch]

I've looked at the seat facing backwards and think no one could operate the pedals. Circus acts probably could. Time will tell.

I be just checked mine again, and it's similar, and my head is up high though I think I could possibly crouch and drive a very short distance. However I've found I can lock it 45 degrees off centre, which would make it nearly impossible to drive, even with the seat- back down.

As an aside, when I was young, my mother had an original Fiat 500 and I could drive it standing up, sitting on the seat- back, with my head sticking out of the sun roof. That was in Kenya, where rules were much slacker. A friend of mine was stopped by the Police, riding three-up on a motorbike and told his L Plate was the wrong size!

 

[Carolyn and Kev]

Hi Guys...Only got 20 left if any one still interested?

Regards Kev

You'll be good provided this chap doesn't fancy your van.

 

[Two on Tour]

You'll be good provided this chap doesn't fancy your van.

Took him nearly 4 minutes as a lock expert to pick it. I imagine he could do it quicker at a push.
He's got to have some ball to continue while my alarm is going off, oh, then of course he has to pick the lock on my Clutch Claw and then move onto my Stop Lock Pro.

 

[Carolyn and Kev]

Personally if he was that desperate for it to wait that long...he could have it!
Like him to do the Oxford vertical once fitted though? We that have fitted one...will tell you its a bugger to get to it with the key never mind a Magic key to unlock it!

I wont worry!
