Hey all, this is the For Sale thread for my current run of shifter knobs.
I am making them for Rennshift shifters and stock 901 or 915 shifters. The cost is $70 per shifter knob, payable via paypal. The cost includes shipping in the CONUS and paypal fees. If you live outside the US mainland, contact me and we will figure out the cost to ship. Stock knobs will require a Porsche crush ring. You can probably reuse your current one, but if not, you can source them from Pelican or GPR. For install, tap GENTLY with a wood or leather mallet. remember, these are wood balls. Smack them with a metal hammer and you are going to leave a mark. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm3.staticflickr.com-1435-1329613649.1.jpg) You know you want one. |

Yes sir. I definitely want one for my Rennshift for my '71 914-6 restoration build. Just tell me when to PayPal the money or I can mail you a check to save the PP fees. Keep the knob until the check clears -no problem.
Thanks for making these; they look beautiful. Of course I will want a matching pen too when you get ready for that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Michael |

Zach,
I'll take a stock one with CA finish. My Rennshift is so old 2004, it takes a stock shift knob. Nice work. Dave |

For those wondering about the stock knobs... I still do not have the proper attachment system finalized. The way I was planning to do it failed acceptance testing. I am now turning the properly sized sheath from 1 inch delrin rods. I will get it! Zach Happy to wait for as long as it takes! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |

The delrin worked!
I have ~7 stock fitting knobs ready for the inserts. as soon as I make the inserts I will be contacting the people on the list, in the order that they are on the list. I did a HUGE happy dance yesterday when I attached a knob and it worked perfectly. I had to try three different ways to do it, but it WORKED! Zach |
