i would expect to see a shifter like that in a tank, alongside another. not in a sports car! its all about contact points, steering grip, gear shift grip, cheeks to chair grip etc.
A good finish, dont get me wrong and probably a very unique feel. have you tried making baseball bats n pleasure toys? lol

as for my knob? i just peeled the outer leather off and was left with a smaller plasticky version. a mkI knob maybe? :oops: #-o

I had to load up the inside of the Anatomica with small nuts (not the edible sort!) just to give it some much needed weight.

I know that Moo (paul) on here has a brand new rev3 knob from Toyota (£80 :shock: ), but the look and feel is awesome. It has a really nice texture on it that has worn off most peoples old ones.


:shock: he could have had it refurbed by me for £17 inc p&p
