Shift Knob

Chippy, I noticed you have a modified shift knob. Did the knob come slotted for the Porsche shifter? I've been searching for some shift knobs to see what's available for the Porsche, not too many after market components out there and what is usually available is pretty hefty in price.

By the way, have you got a link for any of the RHD aluminum pedals that includes the dead pedal? Again, thanks for the info and pics of your car. Very clean ride.

I have a short shifter fitted which has the standard shape shaft. The inside of the gear kob is round.

This might bring a tear to you eye, but I epoxied the knob on! The shifter was only £50 and it isnt likely to wear out, and I figured that there's no need to ever remove the knob anyway, as the centre console can still be removed with it in place.

The only major hassle I had was that the hole in the knob is about 1mm smaller than the shaft thickness - so had to grind 1.5mm off the shaft for the knob to slide over, which was a right PITA.
