I do have the old style polished knobs (at $78), but they were very labor intensive, the quality control required quite a few rejects. These new ones are a satin finish that looks like the new ones at the dealership. At $285.

I do have the crush washers at $8 if you need them.

Currently I have 6 of these made up and if you want one let me know these will be at $65 after (still a good value, but hey save some $ if you're in the market).

I think you'll like these!

I appreciate the props, there are plenty of other vendors that to provide excellent products, I reciently got in on the Engman fuse panel buy and was impressed with the quality of the product, and the level of detail they put into the product. Jwest makes some really cool stuff too.

I just appreciate the support from you guys here, without this type of community, I could not provide these products at a reasonable price. That's why I give the best pricing right here.
Thanks,

Hi, I want one too but before you put me down on the list I will PM you and ask about shipping to me out here in Japan. It shouldn't be too much as it looks small and light like stock. Nice work too!! That looks amazing!! Thank you for your service in the 914 community.

Put me down for one as well with the 901 pattern and washer.

I was wondering if you going to start producing these. I remember seeing your initial post about them more than a year ago.

Give us some details on the materials used in the fabrication. Is it the same as OEM or something better?

I would like one, too. 901. not sure what crush washer is but I currently have a third party Momo ball at the top, so I will probably need whatever the original shifter needed.

Posted by: Mikey914 Sep 19 2009, 02:21 AM

Guys these are taking longer than I wanted. I ran into problems with the vendor that we were using for the plastic resin. We placed the order and were told we'd have it the next week. Next week came and went, and went again. I just got the resin in yesterday and we've started casting I got my first 7 out of casting and Have started polishing. The first ones will actually start shipping in about 1 week, and the orders will be filled at about 18 per week, so they will be filled in about 2 weeks.

I apologize that these are taking so long, and if anyone wants to back out I understand, and will issue a refund.

As a thank you for your patience those that wish to stick with it will receive with their knob a section of my latest seal. This is the engine to deck lid seal that is NLA. I've been so busy with this and what I have going that I haven't had the opportunity to even mount mine, and I will not be offering it up until I get caught up with what I have going on now.

Just wanted to follow up and until I had the raw materials in hand I couldn't get an accurate estimate as to when I would have these.

I posted this in the classifieds cause I'm a noob and didn't read all of your post.

Can you make some with 1 where 2 is and make it a 4 speed for the v8 guys and others who don't have or use 1st gear to start but 2nd.

Just a thought...

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 16 2010, 09:59 AM

I can, but the set up is about $175, If I could get 8 guys that need that exact layout (one set up) I'd do it.

So the real question is how many people need them?

This is what the crush washer looks like. I can make them, but have been just buying them. I may look at these in the future. Not hard to make, just takes some more tooling.

The graphics were not expensive, it's how I produce the inlays that has a set up cost as well as a production cost. The material must also be UV stable. So to get materials that met my criteria I have to pay a little more. It would have been really easy to do when I set up these.

I got one of Marks 911 balls and it is nice. It probably will go on a cable shifter on the 914 for a suby tranny.

I'll take the last one (+ a crush washer) if it's still available.

with the total inc USPS shipping to the UK & your Paypal account info.

Will you be making any more ?

Mark,

This is what I need for my 4 speed 930 on my cable shifter. I think there are a few guys that need them.

I'll try to get some of these made up (930), I'm not sure if I'll get to them before I go on vacation.

Anyone else need this patern???
