You could always cut the top off a marker pen and slip it over the stubby.
Never be afraid to do anything, put your mind to it and work at it.
Pre facelift 2.0i heavily modified with a stubby.

Can’t see anything more simple or cheaper!
Congrats, you win Simplest Solution of the Thread Award :winner:

A slight variation - I used some 22mm pipe insulation I had handy. Meets all requirements: safe to use; very quick to fit; zero cost; stops my stubby bending under tension, and also stops it accidently making a hole in the cover and poking out if it gets hard and stiff in this cold weather. :o

I just know everyone's been gripped with anticipation, waiting to see the outcome :rofl:

A used Costa coffee cup would be even cheaper and you would have a coffee as well. :thumbsup:
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.
