I have developed a process for restoring Shift Knobs.

I can restore your crazed shift knob.

The service costs $75 plus $6.25 for return postage.

I have a limited supply of shift knobs that I have restored and are available for exchange if you are in a hurry.

At this time I am not selling any shift knobs without a repairable core.

If you want your exact knob back I can keep track of that too.

Thanks!

I highly suggest putting some good quality pics in your thread showing before and after. Your blog pics are a bit confusing, and won't help you sell your service.

Good luck!

Here is a finished knob we just did for a customer from Pelican Parts...

You can also go to the 911 BBS on pelican and seach for shift knob.

Is a shift knob repairable if it has a crack running down the side where the shaft plugs in?

its possible to repair some of these the results vary.
if its fixable we will do that, the charge for that would be another 20 dollars.
if no pieces of black are missing then send it along with the check and if we cant fix it we will return both.

Ok. I bought an aftermarket knob already, but the original still sits in the glove box. It would be nice to have it fixed sometime, as I've never been crazy about the new one. When I can scrape the money together I'll send it to you. Thanks

So all you do for $75 is polish the knob?

we fix cracked and chipped acrylic,

restore cracked and broken sides,

and have now started repairing blemished letterings and backgrounds.

polishing is only the final step in the process... but if you like polishing your own knob, more power to you then...
