Hi people,

just a quick post to see if anyone would be interested in an aluminium gear knob?
i've made one for my college course and i have jus found a copy tool for the lathe that i could use to turn some out.
the one i have on my car is similar to the richbrook touring one. but other designs could be possible. they will be made with the proper thread so that they just screw on with no grub screw.

pics of mine will be put up shortly.

Shaun

Yea, I've been looking at whats available as I need one. Look forward to seeing the pics. Would it be possible to have something custom done on the top, like initials or something?

How much you after for them?

I need one to replace the simple Union Jack emblemed one i've got!

(it didn't screw on so i've had to put a massive grub screw in myself!)
