Octodyne-INEOS Guards for the buttons on the steering wheel, so you don't press them EVERY time you turn! (are others interested in this design?)

Purchased as well. Thank you for helping us resolve this super annoying "feature" of the steering wheel!

Purchased.

And I just want to say that I am thrilled that you did this. It's exactly the type of owner-created product that the community Skunk Works was hoping to encourage when @Stu_Barnes set it up. Well done.

This past weekend was the first time it ever happened to me but it was during some pretty steering-wheel shifting off-roading. It's a great design - thanks for helping our community.

One of the things I like about the interior is all of the aircraft style guards that make you less likely to accidently flip on a switch you didn't intend to.

BUT...

I always hit the microphone button when I'm turning the wheel, especially in parking lots, which annoyingly makes my grenadier listen to what's being said and disrupt the music or my concentration!
To this end, I fabricated a couple of guards that protect these buttons:

It has a recess on the back side so the button is not depressed, and sits about .187 high, just enough so your palm does not hit the button when you turn the wheel, but the button is still easy to press when you need it.

would anyone else be interested in these? The design is still a prototype, but if there's enough interest, I could make up a batch of them.

Let's have 'em.

4. International: I don't think the squarespace ecommerce will allow these to go international. if there is significant interest from other countries, I'll figure something out. Also, if you're interested in buying more than 2 sets let me know and we can work out a wholesale arrangement at a discount. You can send me an email through octodyne.com if you have questions.

Congrats and thank you for bringing this to market so fast!

Tariffs or not, I'll order a set if/when you can post these northbound. IME, the USPS tends to work well for small flat mailings like this across the border.

OK everyone.... these are now IN STOCK and ready to be shipped here: https://www.octodyne.com/ineos

A couple of things:
1. You have your choice of brushed or tumbled finishes, but don't sweat it too much, they really look about the same. I'll add more pictures tomorrow.
2. The screws FINALLY came in. The head of the screw is just a little (.020") smaller in diameter that the original, but it still looks pretty close to the OEM part. You may be able to re-use your original screws too, but I'm throwing in some 8mm length screws that will work for sure.
3. Upon checkout, there will be 2 options: 2 day express mail (tracked, insured, etc.) for $8.95 or USPS postal mail (snail mail) for $1.00 as a lower cost option.. these come in just under the 1oz weight limit, so can be sent domestically as a letter.
4. International: I don't think the squarespace ecommerce will allow these to go international. if there is significant interest from other countries, I'll figure something out. Also, if you're interested in buying more than 2 sets let me know and we can work out a wholesale arrangement at a discount. You can send me an email through octodyne.com if you have questions.

please order up, and thank you all for the enthusiasm!
