If the McGuards you are looking at have a funny shape cut into the top of
the lug, stay away from them.  The A3s had them, and I order at least one a
month.

The ones I have always wanted to try are those European locks that have
nothing but a hole in the center of them.  I think they slip onto a lug.
The key just looks like a shaft with a very small notch cut into it at a
certain point.  The notch acts like a tumbler for whatever key device is in
the thing.  I think they are 25.00 for a set, and IIRC Rons Parts sells
them...  Or did they change company names?

I will bet someone can confirm what I am prattling about.
