I got the rci option for use on my billiebars. They work great and as intended. The custom nuts that someone can't just get a bit for off of eBay for a few dollars is the real win. All security nuts/buts other companies use, the bit can be bought on eBay for a few bucks, making them useless to a prepared thief. My only wish is the brackets were a bit taller. I know there needs to be at least some empty space to be able to actually tighten it to the rack but was hoping for a smaller gap to minimize the effectiveness of an angle grinder attack. I still give it a 5/5 though as it is a huge step up from what came stock with my tent. It was tough spending 25% the cost of my tent on a few brackets, but I have much more peace of mind now leaving it on the rack when not being used and feel it is worth it🤘
Perfect fit!
These mounts are much faster to install, they're an impeccably perfect fit, they look great. It's even easier to reposition the tent before tightening them down than before.
The only improvements would be some guidance on how to use the locking washers (or an updated YouTube video) given a sharp and smooth side, not wanting to damage the aluminum unless it's the intention; and, if it were possible to make the security bit magnetic, so it wouldn't fall on my face when I lose traction on my back 😬
I lost a couple of WEW security mounts in a helluva washboard weekend trip. Pro-tip: Use the Blue Loktite. I sure will in the future.
So, I ordered a replacement set and Ian, The Shock Doc, was outstanding, sending me a new set of mounts ASAP, even though he didn't have the keyed security nuts from his vendor yet. He supplied Nyloks as an iterim and they will work fine.
Thank you for bailing me out!
These mounts are awesome not only for the security aspect that they offer but for a much cleaner look of the stock crappy mounts😎
