Gear Knobs

[maturin23 10]

Hi all,

 

Just wondered if there were any alternatives to the standard Pug gear knob - they seem to be thin on the ground now, and I've just split my

second one.

 

Any ideas?

 

cheers

Ian

Though if you wanted something a bit classier (can't imagine why?) then there's a reasonable selection here:

Though I'm not a fan of aftermarket gear knobs.

That rocks

 

I'm thinking of carving one from a chunk of walnut that I've got....

so you need a knob for the mot?[let the comments begin] i didnt know that.

Depends what you're after, i've run 309/306 style ones for years in road cars as they match well, leather clad with a better style insert in the top.

 

 

But for competition oriented cars, Quaife nylon jobbies.

It isn't part of the test but a well presented car is more likely to pass.

I tried that, waited 2 months after paying for one only to get a phone call saying they can't get one...

I have a nice Euro Gentry leather one. It feels nicer to me than the standard plastic one and is a quirky 205 bit!

 

They sometimes appear in 309 Goodwoods without the wooden wheel

[welshpug 1,656]

which did you order?

Just buy a bag of apples every few days. When you get in the car, pick up an apple and stab it on to the gear lever. Complete journey, grab apple, lock car and walk enjoying your juicy apple (with slight hint of old french car )

I have a small keyring version of the 8 ball on my black gti6 keys, i like the idea. Where did you get it from some random pub ?

These are the ones i meant, they come in some 309 GTi, 405's and some early 306's seemingly. They're comfy and a bit chunkier so feel a bit better to me!

I would hope never to change gear if that was my car! Whatever floats your boat Dave

Did people have to reply with the photo on on every post lol ?

[Baz 421]

No, and i don't usually as it annoys me also, but depending on how you're replying it's sometimes difficult to edit the quoted post.

Was there really a need to post that though?? In theory it's just as bad.
