I see Stonewolves have closed down on 30 June 2019. I have broken the bottom cable to the base plate. Does anyone know who now sells the anti theft kit or replacement cables? I have googled but cannot find anyone.

Drove past the dump point at Coolongolook today and saw that the closest point of approach for a black tank equipped big rig was at least 10 metres and the dump point was about 50cm higher than parking ground level. No obvious potable water tap either.
