Thread: 69 chevelle nomad STOLEN.. almost

Tweet

I got on ebay and ordered a couple keyed battery cut off switches. They aren't the one I want.. Waned the one which mounts on the fender, keyed. From the outside you see a pretty little chrome circle, and you just turn the key. Weatherproof, and no lifting the trunk.

Also, I have been taking the steering wheel into work with me. A bit of a hassle, there are nine screws to deal with to do it. So, I ordered a quick release kit from Summit.
It is supposed to allow use of the stock horn, and all that is supposed to be removed for installation is the steering wheel. I'll be the judge of that. I totally expect it to be a little harder. Looks like it functions by depressing a spring loaded disc behind the wheel, and then you simply pull the wheel off. nice.

The adapter kit, $17 The quick release $122 the new wheel $82.

The look on the crooks face when he hops in to steal it... priceless.

Anyone ever use or see one of these Diehard security batteries?

I like it. It looks like a great idea, although, the fact that it says "security" on it will alert the thief that they'll need to put a different battery in the car to steal it. Not something they usually carry around in their pockets I realize; but, not something that couldn't be overcome by a "dedicated" thief.

Still not a bad idea at all though. Make it as difficult as possible, and hope they give up.
