Default Tommy Kaira Knee pad

Does anybody have this? I was thinking about ordering it but Im not sure if it's fit for a LHD car (looks like in a RHD it is functional for the clutch leg when youre cruising)
Here is a pic, looks like a sweet piece

Answered your PM.

This piece is pretty much universal and can be used on any car.

Isn't that more for pushing against, when experiencing lateral Gs? I didn't think it served a purpose while cruising.

I need this ... I constantly bruise my left knee after a weekend at the track from bracing myself.

How much does it run? How does it mount?

Send me PM's if you are interest in these. I will be more than willing to start a GB on Tommy Kaira, however I do not want to make a post in the GB section just yet, as Raretricks has his finishing up right now.
