Any VXR8 owners near Wigan

[Granby]

Been having a conversation with Disklok about getting a Disklok for my VXR8, where the spokes join the rim is quite thick and a standard Disklok won't fit but they said they could modify one to fit but would prefer to have the car to make sure it will fit

Now as i'm in London they are hardly local to me so i am asking if anyone local to Wigan who would be able to pop to the Disklok warehouse for a test fitting which they say will only take around 15-20 mins

Thanks
Ian

yeah I would have got one as well...

Would the Streetwize X-lock work?

NB I've used the Diskloc in the past. They are very big and heavy, which means the mechanism would make a great guillotine (so avoid fitting in a hurry) and the unit as a whole would hurt if it hit you in a crash (storing it securely is almost impossible).

I have a clutch claw, decent bit of kit and small enough to tuck behind the seat when driving, unlike a disklok which takes up a seat.

Fits brake and throttle pedal also, not just for manuals.
