KugaWestie Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I intend to fit a Cobra replica gear-lever once registered, but for now I need to do something for a gearknob. This is one I had in the garage from an MX5 as the gearbox didn’t have a knob on it when I got it. I decided to have a go at improving it. I put an M10 bolt into it and stuck it in the drill. The drill went into the vice and then I cable tied the trigger into the on position. An instant mini lathe 😂 I sanded it all down, and then applied a layer of filler over it. Then sanded the filler down. Then I applied primer, colour and 2K clearcoat. It’s come out ok and much more presentable. Just needs a few days in the house to cure a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
