Are there any shift pattern "plates" available that display our 914 shift pattern?
I have the 917 wood knob...In the rare event i may leave my car with a valet or let a hot chick try to drive it they don't know the pattern. Maybe somebody can create a small plate (group buy?) with an engraved pattern that can be mounted to the dash? Any ideas? |

Gary - Aside from Elliot's well placed comment ....
IIRC there were 911/912 shift pattern decals &/or plates for their optional 5-speed 901 tranny (same pattern on 914s), so try looking at the Porsche Classic parts, Einmalig in Huntington Beach, & the other Porsche parts houses for one. Back in the day most folks just used either the factory Bakelite knob or the AMCO aftermarket Leather wrapped or Walnut ones with the shift pattern, if they needed clues. Back in the day I never let a valet park my car, but do admit to letting 1 or 3 girlfriends, a fiancee, & 2 wives drive it. At worst, they started in 2nd where they thought 1st would be! I have the leather wrapped AMCO knob with the Porsche crest - so also "blind" to the pattern. There are some members doing CNC & die-cut stuff on here, so maybe someone will step up, if you can't find the 911/912 ones. I see that you're on the LA to Canada Freeway (local radio ad), so Einmalig & Sierra Madre in Pas are close to you. Some online searches will save you time & miles though.
