Is anyone using a Disklok on a 13" John Cooper steering wheel?

I am wanting to get one, but on their website the smallest steering wheel size is 35cm so this would mean the smallest Disklok would be too big for a 13" wheel!?!

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks

It might rattle a bit but can't see it making too much difference. I have seen them used on minis but can't confirm what size steering wheel was on there unfortunately.

I use one on my standard MPI steering wheel, no problems. I've just measured my wheel at 13.4 inches so you should be fine.

I have a different variation on our sidewalk, but use a Dislock on my Beetle & Riley. As has been said above the 13.5" should be ok as the depth of the U the wheel sits in means you shouldn't be able to pull it off. I'd also suggest the wheel protector (or making one yourself) to pervent marking the wheel.

 

Mine foiled one theft attempt when my car keys were stolen, so worth every penny in my opinion. Essential equipment for an older classic car.  Just remember not to keep the key on the same ring as your car keys (you'd be surprised how many people do!).

Also put a TILE or key tracker on them too :)

I use a Baseball Bat, (with Chub type lock) easy to fit and remove (if you got the key  ) just place on rear seat,also comes in handy for scallies

I use one on a smaller mountney wheel and it is too small on the smallest setting but you can't get it off. (Wobbles abit) good visual deterent if nothing else. Wheel protector is a must.

None of my cars go parked up overnight without a disklok fitted! That includes two Minis, one with a Mountney fitted, the other a standard Rover 12" wheel. Yes, the lock is a loose fit on the wheel but it won't come off without a fight.
One good idea is to glue strips of carpet inside- this protects the wheel from scuffs and makes the disklok fit better too.

lol knew that was coming its insured anyways

I use the baseball bat style one too. It fits very securely to the wheel

We don't have such a thing in my country what's it look like? We just use gearlocks or steering wheel lock (a modern Krocklok)

I use one on my mini 30 and that works fine it's a bit loose but still couldn't drive off with it on :)
