Zach, If you have any of these left I would like to purchase one for my 934 tribute with Hargett Shifter. The knob will need to be modified by me to accept a threaded female insert so either a knob with the crush insert or a non-drilled version would work great. Thanks much, JP I can do that. Will PM you. Zach |

Probably. I don't know what the G50 lever is like.
Is it a 17mm or 5/8th inch diameter shaft? Crush ring attachment or spin on? Let me know and I can make it work. Zach |

Hey all. I bought wood this weekend and prices were up. Shipped out a knob today and shipping also went up.
Had to do a little soul searching. I have been running an extended group buy / site special for 914 World where I did not charge shipping for members. I am going to keep the shipping included for World members. I like doing that here. But the price is going up on the knobs to $70 as of today. Zach |

That's fine by me Zach. Prices go up, and that's understandable. $65 still seems like a fair price. These are the most gorgeous 917 style nobs out there IMO.

Iwill not be accepting any new orders for these after tomorrow (friday March 8, 2013). I recently got a bunch of parts for my car and Iwant to have it on the road this spring for Hershey in April.
If you get an order in to me this week I will make the knobs this weekend. After that it will be summer or fall that I start turning knobs again. I *have* to get my car running. Zach |

Hi Zach,
I know you said you are going to be discontinuing the CA finish, but any chance of another, exactly as sixnotfour showed in the photo ( for a standard shifter ) ? I would love one of these. I am in Melbourne Australia (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Cheers Dale |

For this run I am only doing round knobs.
I don't have the mahogany needed to make the tear shaped knobs right now, and they take a LOT longer to make. |
