Yeah, but that only helps me get the arms under. The problem is the arms press on the skirts when the car is up on the lift. Only way to fix that would be to put pieces of wood on the lifting pads, and I'm not that brave/stupid.

Sorry, I didn't read your original post, that makes sense. They must have one of those really high lifts! Sounds scary, my skirts got messed up on my BMW from a lift like that, I think they were made out of a different material though.

Would you be willing to have another made or make another one? That's gorgeous and i haven't seen any nice shiny brass shifters before.

Unfortunately the gentleman I got it from made just the one for his car and I picked it up from him
