probably, would be easier to break into, but really, there for the race track, and when my cars not in the garage i'm no more than 30 feet away!!! I think i will give them a good polish,

Good effort. Do away with the lock barrel all together. Get a piece of alu' thats an interference fit and stick it in there. You could even put a slot in it so it looks like a lock
I seriously doubt it! |

the only issue i can think of this this is water ingress into the locking mech (if your keeping it)

Took pauls advice and slid a 1/2 inch bung in the lock barrell hole. looks, ok, i'll drop a tab of weld to stop it falling out. what standard does anodize need to be? you'd probably get away with anodising on the emery finish |
