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. |

Stock knobs are held on tight with a "crush ring" and not a set screw or threads.
The ring is a disposable part (many can be reused, but they were not intended for such). To remove your existing STOCK knob, set a pair of vise-grip plyers around the shift lever, just under the knob. They should be set so they are just shy of touching the shaft when the jaws are fully closed. Tap up under the vise-grips to drive the knob off the shaft. Please bear in mind, if you have an aftermarket knob it may not be attached with a ring. This is how you remove the knobs on 901 and 915 transmissions. I am not sure if this works for 930 transmissions, and I know it is not how they do it for the modern shifters. My knobs attach with the standard crush ring for the 901 and 915 shift lever (or any lever with a 15mm or 5/8th inch diameter - like the Rennshift). I am experimenting on attachments with set screws, but those are not on the market as yet. Zach |
