Gear knob

Recommended Posts

The top of mine is flaking and was after recommendations as to a good replacement as it is very rough in my palm. It's a type 9 box and presently a chromed one but don't mind a leather one or any other suggestions.

I purchased a small leather westfield badge one from the bay, i might have an unused white quaife one you could have if you fancy.

If Jonk doesn't want the quaife one Pete I'd be pleased to have it, it's the missing piece of my winter upgrade puzzle!

On my car the gear lever/knob is shortened and sits under the edge of the dash, the knob itself is a very small wooden affair with a Westfield logo on top (not sure if it's from WSC or not). I've been casually looking for a new one, but it's hard to find one small enough.

 

I'm not sure if your situation is the same?

 

I found this website through work, they're not gear knobs as such, but they are balls with threaded holes...... I reckon they'd probably work just fine as gear knobs if you need something on the small side as I do (and they're a lot cheaper).

I'm tempted to try the alloy one, I believe the thread size is M10, so i'm looking at £12+p&p, which ain't bad tbh.

Everywhere else i've looked, they don't give the dimensions.

It took me ages to find one I liked for my S2000.

 

After all, you want it to fall easily into your hand, You want it to be chunky and feel solid when you grasp it.

 

Eventually I settled for a Stainless steel one, that weighs in at 500g.  It came from JDM Long Beach, California.

They even cut the S2000 shift pattern into the top for me....!

 

They have hundreds on their site.  It wasn't cheap, plus there were import charges of $38 and shipping to add, but one lesson I've learned in life: you can never spend too much money on your knob.

Seems to be the trend, but if Jonk doesn't want it, I'd be interested in the Westfield one  :yes:
