I do know they can't protrude beyond the outside of the steering wheel.

Handy in a combine harvester and also had one in a manitou forklift but I would think twice about a road vehicle

My own personal favourite, cheapest and most functional modification still has to be AndrewS's alarm operating range increase modification...

pom, ive had one fitted to my steering wheel (300tdi) for the last 5 years and I think its brill.
When I changed my standard steering wheel for a smaller one I found it was a little harder to turn (less leverage I guess). The steering knob gives full lock super fast, especially when doing 7 point turns 
And being able to drive one handed allows me to keep the other hand free to pick my nose or scratch my balls

 I wish 
Its actually my secret window demister. It works super fast and clears the inside of the windscreen in about 2 seconds. Perhaps by far the best mod I have done to my Defender. Ill pop out and take a better photo of it, and post back in a few minutes. |
