Title: boot lock
Post by: plumber on 18, July, 2010 - 10:44:12
ive found a boot lock that fits the c5 boot....it's a locker lock....27mm.....if you use a old pod washer and drill out the centre with a cone cutter to make it bigger and put it on the lock....inside the boot use a big metal washer and the nut that comes with the lock....and there you have one nice boot lock.....they come with 2 keys....not bad for a plumber..lol :P

cost 10.00 inc p&p

many thanks plumber

I've just tried one of these out on Steve's C5;

You do need to bend the "lever" part a little to ensure the boot is held firmly shut , but they are nice and cheap and do the job. I'm really pleased with them  ;D

Got them off Ebay  - pack of two for less than £19 delivered ;)

hi Karl,

you got a vendor link for these, only one i can find is for one lock @ 17mm.

i've lost the key to the original C5 and the Yellow on did not have a bot lock at all.

I've approached the manufacturers direct but they only supply to a trade account holder...

Still working on a plan B

If you're desperate I have one left over  ;)
