Shifter Knob 914 vs. 911 Options

[swm914]

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and to 914 ownership. I just bought a 1974 2.0 in Phoenix Red. One of the first easy things I want to do is replace the original shifter knob with another original era knob that has a legible shift pattern on the face under the bubble. I suppose mine deteriorated with age. I've come across some for sale in various places that say the 914's and 911's from that era had the same knob. I'm hoping someone can confirm that for me. Anyone know where I can find one? I see one on Ebay now but the picture isn't any good plus I want to make sure I know what I'm getting is right for the car. Also, did 914's in 1974 have optional knobs with other types of faces, say for example, the Porsche symbol? Any advice greatly appeciated. Thanks Steve

Second see if you can make contact w/ Mike (dr evil here) he lives in the area there going to med school. A great and very helpful 914 guy when he isnt busy with classes.

Third a bunch of us are trying to meet up at the swap meet in the end of April at Hershey

To answer your question I believe the rubber knob was the only thing available anything else was either put on by a dealer or the PO.
