yeah mate i put one on my vl. they are called a full metal jacket and also cover the ignition wiring. i got mine sent to me from the guy in adelaide, can't remember the number but. just do a search on google, there should be something there. i think i may have got the info from the nrma website.

Yep thats it.(full metal jacket) don't know where you get'em, mine had one fitted when i bought my car. Another thing to do is, p.s****- Auto VL's only***- . Place a thick padlock between the gearshift selecter(the bit you pull up)and the top of the T-bar. Make sure it's thick enough so there's no chance of moving it out of "PARK". A cost effective security device, that works very well. PSI.

Or do a little re-wiring job, have your ignition fuse hidden under the dash, and pull it everytime you leave ya car.

South has a good idea there, never thought of that. If im leaving my VL in a really dodgy area i have two club locks, one locks from my clutch pedal to the gear stick disabling movement, and the other one is just your ordinary steering wheel lock. I feel better putting two on than just one.. but when it comes time to take them off, its damn annoying.. but hopefully thieves will think that too and leave it alone.

i've got a full metal jacket on mine, unfortunately it still got stolen, it's to easy to get keys that fill fit. But, a second attempt by some other thieving *******s tried getting the jacket off, but only could dent the keyhole slightly which bent straight back.
