shifter knobs

Just a data point.

There is a guy here in Germany doing the same thing but incorporating metal threads in his. The product is EXCELLENT (I have a 308 (white lettering) knob) but the price is twice what you are contemplating.

Check eBay.




LOVE your keys BTW.

 

That would be great, I'd be interested, especially with the red fill.

Would it be larger than the stock? Many of the aluminum shift knobs I've seen are a little larger than the stock shift knob, and it feels better.

I wound up painting an aluminum shift knob black. Looks pretty good for now, but always looking for something better.

 

Just as a "data point" - Eurospares appear to have a selection of gear knobs available:

Thanks: I just gave a look.
Excellent item

I'm interested in a stock 328 replacement knob. Keep me posted.

 

If you can come in cheaper than everyone else, why not make a better OEM replacement with the white lettering - take care of all the purists - and a second one with the red colorfill to accommodate everyone else.

I can't imagine the colorfill would change production costs that much.

You'll have a better product than everyone else (options), cheaper, and still OEM.

My $0.02
(Generally worth $0.01)

 

What is the thread pitch on the knob?

 

Red lettering is OEM on the 308 low brow, high rent clone ....... called the 328.



I jest. I jest on the "clone" part.

 

Even more reason to do both colors, no??

 

Yep.

 

I would buy one... Support Canada

How about making some new Euro spec series 1 rubber foam core bumpers? Lol

And I hear the Testarossa guys can't find any rubber joystick knobs for their mirror controls.

 

Update: Looks like it is M10 x 1.25mm (not positive thought)

Found this site that make custom shift knobs. Once you get past the Rat Fink and Tunner style you have a basic black shifter knob for $40 and a stainless steel with pattern (5RUL) for $56, Aluminum for $51

 

Definately 10x1.25.

Approx 43mm diameter w/flat on bottom for jam nut.

 

10 x 1.25...I bought a jamb nut from Ace Hardware last week. OEM jambs are tapered, Ace's are flat, but whattaya want for $0.11?

Ciao!

I hate the larger aluminum knob. Needs to be orig size.

I'd buy one or two if both color letters are avail.

 

I see what I can find with original size.

 

I would be in for one.

 

id buy the original size with white letters x 2 !

 

I'll buy multiples of anything that is a correct repro of OEM, even the tag that hangs off the clock.
