WOW !!! That's nice. I want something close to that,but a little different.Hard to explain. I need to hit ebay and shop around.I assume you need an install kit for it?If so,it doesn't push the wheel out does it?


If you use the standard spacer it does put it closer to you , but they make spacers from 1/4"  and up to 3 inch
 I use a 1/2" one

The one inch spacer puts it just about where the stock wheel sits.

Don't know. Just saw it while browsing examples on their website. Maybe time to make the phone call. Yes. When I saw that I said "Vinny"!

I'm checking with them about my console lid and my pistol grip shifter . I hate the billet aluminum,it's deadly when it's been siting in the "over a hundred degree" temps.I need to throw a cloth over it and see if it helps,but hot is hot.

But yeah deadly was touching the tools that were closed up in the trunk of my Bird yesterday... Hot hot hot! I had to let them sit in the shade before I could use them.
