Re: Winch security
True. But I would not loose too much sleep over a tack that holds the nut
to the bolt to prevent it from turning. I would not heat the entire bolt
up. Plus you only need to tack one bolt to make it secure, the others would
be untouched, this is just to keep a thief from pulling it off with a set of
wrenches one night.

Re: Winch security
If it were a strong winch that is likely to break something before
it cooks, like an hydraulic powered, in this litigious society, I would
build something like a scatter-shield to cover the bolted areas and weld
that on.

Re: Winch security
I guess you could put two nuts on, and tack weld the nuts together.
