Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Security devices

Hi folks,

has anyone tried any type of "pedal-lock" security device on their Mog?

For example:

or

or even

thanks

No & I can imagine that this is a pig to fit.
Anyway I don't know of anyone who has had their Mog stolen.

Hi Tim,
I have one of the Bullock ones (I was given one by the original importer many years ago). It's a brilliant thing. I always use it if I'm abroad in the mog. I don't bother here but I would if I was leaving the car somewhere I didn't like the look of.It lies under the seat when not in use. Peace of mind. Mind you, you have to kneel on the ground to lock/unlock it. The Loc king looks neater to me.
Modern handbrake tops don't seem to lock the handbrake when unscrewed like the old ones did.
All security helps if it's not silly - like those uncutable steel securing wire that people thread through their canvas/leather bag handles...ho ho ho indeed.

I use a pair of current issue Police handcuffs, one end on the steering wheel the other on the gearlever, cheap(from flea-bay) a highly visible deterrent, and a good talking point "do you also use them in your social life" etc.

As a Morgan newbie I may be missing something here ... but as we have a "fly-off" type handbrake, surely unscrewing and removing the handbrake button isn't going to provide any security whatsoever? It may make it a touch uncomfortable for the thief to re-apply the brake , but that's hardly a deterrent, would you say?

I find this works best

where did you get my dog's twin Pandy?
Thats spooky.
