Tamper proof fastners

Having just spent a lot of money on a Genuine VW california bike rack
See here

I have discovered that all that is required to remove it (and its contents!) from my van is an allen key.

The allen bolts are M6x60mm and I am looking for some stainless replacements but with the temper proof heads to stop any thieving wannabes nicking off with my gear.

I would prefer not to have the standard allen kep with a tit in the middle as you can often just snap that tit off with a small screwdriver and a hammer, something a little more complicated to defeat.

Oh a small quantity would be good too, not a 1000pc minimum order if poss!

Anyone got any ideas??

Cheers

Can you not find another way to make it secured to the vehicle? Chain etc?

these:

It will be fun when you decide to sell the rack or car!! But I am sure with the aid of an angle grinder it will be doable.
