Proper repro gear knob

[Michel]

Am buying a 5-speed 901 repro gear knob from Alan, Canford Classics. Same place as the engine stickers. Would like t know if anyone else wants one - can then organise a group buy.

Andrew Vidier I think recently bought one so can chime in on quality.

a new batch is ready soon - should be less than the 80 pound quoted in the thread.

I bought one a while ago from Alan and had a quick look when it arrived. Looked pretty good to me but I'm a bit of a newbie to these cars so can't offer any comment on comparisons to original.

Shinier than original but better than any other reproduction I have seen

[Andrew Vidler]

very very good ...I couldnt tell the difference. Hugh H also got one. I checked with him before i bought mine...he was similarly pleased.

Remember you still have to buy a crush sleeve from Porsche locally (about $8)

price 63 pounds

hi

Alan quoted a price of 63 pounds plus postage if 5 bought or more let me know if there is interest and I will organise.

He can also produce a 4 speed if anyone need it.

You can count me in. Gotta get my shifter chromed, and don't like my chances of getting the 40+ old knob off without damage.

[Terminator]

You might be surprised its only held on by the crush sleeve so firm rotational prsssure should see it give way OK

[Classic]

Thanks Clyde i'll give it a try

[Michel]

is anyone else wanting a knob for xmas will put an order through on the weekend

Classic do you still want one?
cheers

Yeah count me in still the top of my current knob is some what crazed anyway

[Michel]

Gear knob cost

FYI Repro knobs sold by alan are now 80 pounds + postage if bought individually.

They loook good.

Is a group buy going ahead? I need a 5 speed one for my 67L.

Cheers

[Terminator]

I'll buy a 915 style 5 speed one if you need to make up numbers but if not I will ordre when I do the stickers order which should be next week

Hi received my 901 knob - have to say they are well made though plastic feels a little different.

There was not enough interest at the time for a group buy (5) - but given the amount of interest in the engine bay decals then Alan might be persuaded to offer a better price on the knobs at the same time.
