fella`s, you may recall a recent thread about some of us getting our clocks stolen? Although I haven`t had mine nicked (yet) the cheek of the little b*stards to steal stuff we work our asses off to afford made me decide to look at a solution.
Sadly its a long time coming (the thread was `live` weeks ago mefinks) and I am sincerely sorry if any of us has had our clocks stolen in the meantime. In my defence I`m tooooo bloody busy for my own good and I struggle to keep people happy with just run of the mill gear they ask me to make but this really did touch a nerve - I struggle with the fekkin sh*te who thieve - so i thought I would look into it as soon as I could.
Here is the very first prototype - I want to develop it to a point where it could be of use to the ones amongst us who could do with a solution - apparently the clocks are only held on by a couple of easily opened clips (ffs) and cost hundreds to replace.
I`ve gone for some sort of balance between a huge fekking bracket and something far too insubstantial to stop them so I know this idea won`t suit everyone - some of us will want fort Knox and some will think thats waaaay over the top. It simply fits around the clocks and attached to a couple of fastening points on the inside of the upper screen bracket assy. Its a sod to fit and IMHO might make the thieving scum give up trying to nick the clocks as you need tools to remove it. Naturally if they want the clocks they will have them but I`ll bet my house that this may even make them think `f*ck it, lets go thieve something easier`
The idea is simple - the bracket stops the clocks from being pulled out of the cockpit.
Currently 2mm stainless (but would be available in black if I ever decided to sell them/enough of us were interested)
So, any input fella`s?

) how about incorporating a ram ball into the design for peeps to hang things on?
