Like that one... I wanted it a little higher up... I made it so its adjustable though it will screw down and the rod will go into a hole drilled in the center.

I keep visiting this thread to check the status of these things and, every time I do, I hear Raymond Calitri in my head, "Metal's cold, ugly. Wood's warm, clean, provided by nature."

Good stuff, man.

Thank you thank you...

This one was not fun at all but the wifey wanted one for her camry. It has a different sized nut and needed to be countersunk a lot and made for a real ***** of a time... Hope she likes it.




Probably took 10 years off my life because this acrylic is nasty and smells up the house...

But she wanted it made from acrylic

Modified it... Drilled out the camry nut and redrilled the center so it would sit low... Glued in the 10x1.25...

$98... Vs $11
