I can lend you mine when the replacement knob arrives, it is not heavy but it is LONG... It was made by Omgpham about 5-6 years ago from memory, not sure if he is still making them.

Thanks mate, that would be great, always better to try before buy- that’s the one you had in when I had that short drive last year wasn’t it? :wink:

That replacement looks great Magpie. I need to something about the shifter in my car as well. I want something longer like the one you are looking to do, but it'd need a short shifter kit as well, or is it all part of that kit?

It is a tall angled shifter from Miata Roadster. Knob is from OMGPHAM.

Happy to loan the knob after I get my replacement one. Well after Daffy has a play.

I've seen a lot of those tall shifters result in broken shafts. Though Magpie can't be too easy on his out on track, and it's lasted, so I guess it varies. Be aware is all.
