'tis the way I've been doing it! When not in use I store it
by placing it on the right side stalk switch arm
The length and diameter of my tube allows me 3 preset positions.
1-placed around the choke lever shaft between the knob bottom and the dash
2-placed between the knob rim and the dash
3-the diameter of the tube between the knob bottom and the dash
