I do have the old style polished knobs (at $78), but they were very labor intensive, the quality control required quite a few rejects. These new ones are a satin finish that looks like the new ones at the dealership. At $285.

I do have the crush washers at $8 if you need them.

Currently I have 6 of these made up and if you want one let me know these will be at $65 after (still a good value, but hey save some $ if you're in the market).

I think you'll like these!

I would like one, too. 901. not sure what crush washer is but I currently have a third party Momo ball at the top, so I will probably need whatever the original shifter needed.

Guys these are taking longer than I wanted. I ran into problems with the vendor that we were using for the plastic resin. We placed the order and were told we'd have it the next week. Next week came and went, and went again. I just got the resin in yesterday and we've started casting I got my first 7 out of casting and Have started polishing. The first ones will actually start shipping in about 1 week, and the orders will be filled at about 18 per week, so they will be filled in about 2 weeks.

I apologize that these are taking so long, and if anyone wants to back out I understand, and will issue a refund.

As a thank you for your patience those that wish to stick with it will receive with their knob a section of my latest seal. This is the engine to deck lid seal that is NLA. I've been so busy with this and what I have going that I haven't had the opportunity to even mount mine, and I will not be offering it up until I get caught up with what I have going on now.

Just wanted to follow up and until I had the raw materials in hand I couldn't get an accurate estimate as to when I would have these.

I don't know why anyone would cancel because all your products to date are worth the wait. Supplier issues happen all the time in the real world. Mark if anyone HAS to have their order before mine go ahead and put me near the end of the line as I'm not in a hurry.

Thanks guys. I try not to take any money on item until I have my production ready. This is why this has been very stressful for me. I appreciate your patience, but we are finally in the home strech here. Now I'm going to be very busy polishing for awhile.

Thanks to all.

Don't sweat it, man. We super appreciate your taking the time to manufacture all
these great parts. We need more vendors like you.

My car has been waiting 37 years for this part, another month won't matter.

These are finally starting to move. I got 6 out of the 7 original knobs (I had to reject one) that will ship out Monday, and 26 done this week that will be shipping a week from Monday, and the balance will be shipped the following week.

So some forward progress. Just wanted to update everyone.
