- I don't think that is much of an issue nowadays. Usually a thief takes something he can sell easily, and unless the thief happens to know somebody with another wire wheeled LBC, not a very common th

- Never considered this before, but here's an idea: First of all, next time you have the tire dismounted, write your name on the inside of the wheel with a scriber or vibratory marker. Second, what abo

- I concur with Rich. Also, the wire wheel's unusual "nut", whether octagonal or eared, is itself a theft deterrent device. A few younger safety inspectors have been perplexed at how my car's wheels ar

- Well, as the MGA doesn't even have lockable doors, I decided to put the world on the honor system many years ago. So far, the world has been behaving itself, but I don't leave loose valuables in the

- Dead easy - just talk Moss into producing nuts clearly labelled with an arrow and "To remove" on them, but pointed in the wrong direction. Then all you'd need to check once in awhile is whether some

- Yeah, it's hard to think of anything harder to fence than a used center-lock wire wheel... maybe Whitworth tools? I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If you're near Moun

- Barrie, I tend to agree with most of the other replies with the guarded exception of Rocky's which is more remedial than preventative. It's my experience that there seems to be a golden aura of good
