OK i know this comes with a little allen wrench so you can move the top little OBX plate so it faces you, but now it will just spin. I tried tigening the screws, but it seems like they just spin and dont tighten. So basically the top part is loose. Does anyone know how to fix this?


Other than this, I really like how this **** looks and feels. This is just comparing to the stock one which i replaced. I bought it off of ebay for $36 versus the dealer price of $59. Also it gets EXTREMELY hot sitting out in the sun. My simple solution is to just keep a terry towel in there and cover it. Its good to have in there anyway, just for cleaning.




Here is a pic just in case anyone wanted an in-car shot

 

I have the same problem. you twist it all the way off so its easily moved up and down, and then you just twist it completely back on again and tighten until its straight. works everytime for me.

 

Racing gloves, dude. I'm sure my leather doesn't get as hot as that mesh ****. They work in the winter, too, when it's cold.

 

Yeah, the mesh gets ungodly hot/cold.

And mine spins forever

 

i was going to say the same thing lol but yeah serously i need soem becouse my hand sweets alot at the track i get so excited while im staging lol and then my hand slips of the shifter going in to 2nd lol


so where can i get some cheap???

 

Ok, so don't laugh, but I did a search online when I got mine. I found a great set that I loved and I ordered them. Then I got their catalog in the mail with my order, and I realized I had ordered my gloves from some kinky bondage store. Funny...I couldn't tell on their store site since I browsed right to the page with the gloves from the search engine. But in all seriousness, I'm buying new ones now. Check these out...http://www.saferacer.com/gcrgl.html

 

hahaha cool thanks for the link and that company has some nice helmets to there a bit pricey but i guess you pay for what you get??? does the scca requrie helmets for the there autox events???

 

You know what? I wouldn't know. I'm just a girl who doesn't like her hands to be too hot or too cold...the Goldilocks of tCers, if you will.

 

hahaha well thanks for the info

 

I have the same one..and mine doesnt move at all, so i dunno. but GOD YES! it get's freakin hot when sitting in the sun, i forgot about it and i put my hand on it...OUCH! burnt so bad. But i have a soft sunglasses bag holder thing..i just slip it over it and the heat doesnt go through..problem solved for me YAY! only problem is..it looks like a shifter condom but it beats gettnig your hand burnt.

 

I've got te all aluminum OBX ****, and have the same twisting problem As for the heat, yeah, burns the hell out of me, so I just slip an Oakley bag over it, works pretty well. My friend calls it the Shift **** Condom

 

!! I never thought of that! I'm going to either have to bust out my old oakley case or use my spy's silver case to put over the shifter. why didn't i ever think of that?

 

plus you can keep the **** finger/palm print free :D

 

Ive got the aluminum **** and have no spinning problems at all. Just the real hot or cold that is expected with this ****. The mesh one kinda looks like a microphone.

 

can't you guys just use a wrist sweat band? its thick and made of terry cloth and should be big enough to cover up the ****. its can also slide to the bottom at the boot when not in use.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That requires too much thought for me :D
