It's from a Ruf 7 speed from back in the day

All of these attach with a couple M4 setscrews, so swapping takes 15 seconds.

Those all look great. Nice work!

Maybe just for fun...

I agree! Nice workmanship, burgermeister. If you ever decide to sell one, I'd be a buyer

That’s right! Think there was a guy here on the board that took a Slinky-looking spring to keep it in the 3-4 plane.

Leather feels best

Wood looks best

Whoops. I should've explained it. Autobahn signage:

i would love to help you ..but...i got this from a car in LA, back in 1998 from a client who wanted an original knob..my wild guess would be Performance Products in Van Nuys..later becoming Automotion....to be honest i love the feel of it ...my favorite of all the knobs i have;-)

It may have been cruel to post this pic!
Want one for both of my cars.

the first prototype I fabricated, I´ts now installed in my 911

Manuel made up a couple more for eventual use in my '89 project...

Ebony / Ebony and Ebony / Holly:





One will go into my GP White on black, with Pascha seat cushion inserts (Pole Positions) '89. I like the white / black theme carrying through to the G50-ish shift knob, but stripes may not work adjacent to Pasha seat cushions.

The black / black knob is the fallback and does offer a bit of a retro look.

These are the important decisions that keep me up at night.

Oooooh, then that one for the Pascha has got to be a segmented turning to get the checkers… :nod:

Mostly kidding of course, those look great!

Very sport techno with a vibe, I like it!

[AlKidd]

Got a buddy into turning thats making me one. Id like to mount it using the original spring clip. Does anyone know the inside diameter of the factory knob so the spring clips will work.

[psychoideas]

A couple that I've been experimenting with.
The dark one is River Red Gum/brass/Ash/Brass/ red gum.
The lighter one is Ash/ Oak.
