Shifter surround non slip / storage

[Martin White]

I got tired of things flying off the incredibly slippery plastic and made a mat out of a floor mat and some silicone bakeware to hold small things while traveling. The first effort and the Mk II are shown.

Because I'm Canadian, the second pic HAD to have a TH cup included....

Is that yellow thing some sort of a steering wheel boot to prevent theft?

Yes. It's an autolock 2000 which was the highest rated club type device I could find, ordered from England. Here in Abbotsford (next to Surrey) we have one of the highest auto theft rates in North America. I won't get into why, but I wanted to do everything I could to try and stop a thief or at least slow him or her down enough to make it easier to pick someone else's vehicle to steal. If you read NickW's posts you can see one of his trucks was stolen here years ago.

The Autolock has 2 steel bars that go around a spoke on the steering wheel and would be extremely difficult to cut off. Definitely defeatable but it would take more time than most thieves want to spend.

Most of the time that is all you need. Hope it is never tested.

I just dig seeing the right hand drive Cruisers, the novelty never wears off.
