Folks, some scum-bag recently made off with my lovely Yoshimura Tri-oval end can and I am now keen to buy some locking bolts if such a thing exists. Had a quick scoot around the interweb and couldn't find anything. Even flee-bay didn't list anything. Do they exist? Do they work? Where can I but them?

All help appreciated.

What size bolts are they? Do they have nuts on them?

Screwfix sell security nuts where the hex bit shears off. There are also the sort that have a Torx socket head with a pin in it that require a special security bit, you can get those here.

Other thoughts are to use a permanent grade of loctite, although not sure what would happen with the heat. Or sometimes it's possible to file a bolt head to chamfer off the slot or hex such that you can tighten it but not slacken it.
