Heck even if you drop all 5 you will have 3 and can throw the flat in bed. I would also make a secondary lock that is easy to use but hard to defeat if you know what I mean, a simple plate with loop sticking through that covers the lugs is effective. I like the puck lock type of system.

Thanks...it feels so good to be able to drive it again. So would you cut off the existing studs and weld new ones on the faceplate using threaded rod of the right thread pattern? I like the idea of a lock on one of them...thanks, good thinking!
