Help with a Xmas present

Postby SKYHI » Mon Dec 12, 2016 5:58 pm

Hey Guys,

Want to buy my father a new gear knob for his NA for Xmas. He wants something similar to the OEM one, so I'm thinking black leather with the 5 speed pattern on top. Can't for the life of me seem to find one under $150.

Anyone know where I can source something like this for a reasonable price?

This is a leather covered NA6 style (as opposed to the Nardi NA8):

GBP27 + post, but doesn't appear to have shift pattern on top.

The ones from the UK look pretty good, however there may be an issue with it not having the shift pattern on the top (which is fine as long as an "officious officer" looking for an opportunity to defect doesn't see it)

The shift pattern would be a simple engraving job.
