Re: Hilift mount locking butterflies?

Quote:

So, I don't usually carry my hilift, but with winter coming (and my inclination to help stranded folks), it seems like I might want to carry it more than just when I'm specifically offroad. But I ain't going to risk having some punk in a parking lot undo a couple butterfly nuts and walk off with my hilift.

So: Is there an easily implementable locking solution for Demello's lovely FJ-rack hilift mounts? What would be really nice is if the thread on the Demello mounts had the same thread as my tire lugs did, and I could buy 7 locking lugnuts (4 tires, 1 spare, 2 hilift) with a single key to keep track of. But alas.

Any thoughts?
a couple guys I saw used a small cable lock. We were going to switch to the plastic spin locks but never got a set of them to test out. If we could get the threads custom made we could use those for a lug wrench.
