Disclock is what you want and don't forget to modify it. None of the other steering wheel locks come close and buy you next to no time at all

A small disklok will fit an rs4 spoke James, I've got a 3 spoke and four spoke and have compared them to a cossie wheel and are similar sized. I've got a small disklok on the cossie wheel and it's fine.

Nice mods on the locks there. I don't bother anymore as they had mine off in seconds and trashed the leather steering wheel and cowling, column and stalks. Better off with a snap off steering wheel?

Let me know how long you want the bits to be and a rough thickness of the metal .i.e. 4mm and I will look through my store, I tend to keep useful looking bits and recently cut up a go kart chassis so I expect there are some decent bits there and I am not that far - post would be easy.

I defo need some so if you can supply it i will buy it.

No idea on size as the car is locked in a garage in slough and im in basingstoke at the moment- I cant even remember the last time i looked inside the car now as its been in the garage for over 3 years now.

Also, worth noting, if you are going to use a Disklok - get a soft steering wheel cover to put over the wheel and then put the Disklok on otherwise it will wear the leather on the wheel

Let me see what I can find on sat, you don't need to buy it.

I have loads of 2mm thick but that is sheet metal. I think I have some 4 or 5 mm that I can send and you can cut, I will do a rough line with my plasma.
