Thanks but those 2 and even Porsche Classic are plastic repros, not the original Bakelite material.

Bakelite is actually a more expensive material than the more modern Plastics. I could replicate these and Bakelite do just about any shift pattern you would like. It would not be an inexpensive proposition for a one-off. But it could be doable. I would hope that there might be more than one that would need this.

The early 911 and 912 crowd might be able nterested.

Background- Bakelite is a trade name taken from its inventor, Leo Baekeland, who invented Bakelite in 1907. Bakelite is made from carbolic acid (phenol) and formaldehyde and is referred to as a phenolic resin. Bakelite was the first thermosetting plastic.

Mr. Hawk.
You can have my 4-speed plastic knob "free" for a cup of coffee & donut if your reverse is in this position.
The other one next to the plastic one is for a 914 5-speed Bakelite (different colors).
Tom, see you & Steve for the holiday's.

Tom,
That is very kind of you. Alas R is up next to 1st on my car so sell that one.
Coffee and donuts on me anytime my friend. We look forward to reconnecting.
I have the correct 4-speed knob now from a fellow up North. So all is good.
