I personally upgraded my tap shifter to the Hurst aluminum model years ago and found out a few years later it can be very dangerous to have anything but the flipkey in the ignition while driving. Even the smallest keyring attached to the flipkey or a 2 piece(recall set-up) has the possibility of getting caught by one of the Hurst aluminum paddles while turning the steering wheel. I had it happen one day going around a corner, believe me, it's pretty scary getting half way around a corner and then have the steering wheel stopped on you by surprise. Hurst never had any warnings about it years ago and not sure if they still sell them but very dangerous. I love my flipkey and still use it today but needless to say there is nothing attached to it anymore!
