Mike - The polish does work a treat - any decent aluminium polish with some sort of protector in it helps. I'm not 100% sure what knob Todd ordered as I am at home, but we also do the chrome plated ones now that don't require the level of upkeep the plain Aluminium ones require. Stephen � Thanks for your kind words! The picture is one of the chrome knobs � I think you can even see that I forgot to have a shave before I took the picture! Paul Stephen E.

Made a noticable difference - highly recommended Augustine J.

I happen to use Malco Aluminum Polish which is from a company called Malco Products Inc. out of Barberton Ohio. I buy it in 32 oz bottles. Malco's number is (330) 753-0361. Steven R.

JUST received the dead pedal for the 308 here from Hill and will install it during the New England party here later today. Guess with Verell and 15 other Ferrari guys we should be able to find a way to install it :-) Enjoy the Drive, Steven R.

Looks sharp... I'm a dead pedal away from you . By the way, my shift knob has gotten quite dull... Paul from Hill Engineering provided some polish, that I haven't used yet. Your shift knob doesn't naturally stay that bright / shiny, does it? Todd Short (Action_item) New member Username: Action_item Post Number: 20 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Friday, October 24, 2003 - 10:32 pm:    Hey Jerry, I too put the shift knob on myself, as it's a no-brainer. However I took the car to a custom/restoration shop that specializes on Ferrari for the pedals. They charged me $65.00 to install the pedals. It took them about 45 minutes and they did it while I waited - easily worth not having to hassle with drills etc. 1987 Jerry (Slag_328gts) Member Username: Slag_328gts Post Number: 279 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Friday, October 24, 2003 - 5:17 pm:    wow, they look really nice! I have installed the shift knob & still have the pedals & dead pedal to do. looks great!

They are a nice upgrade for a non-Ferrari type price. Thanks Paul!
