917 Shift Knob Redux

[MOMO3.2]

I installed my new 917 style shift knob that "76911S" (Mark Cross) crafted for my G50 Carrera and I could not be more pleased.

The knob looks great, fits perfect, and feels very nice in my hand. And, since it is a replication of a knob used in one of the greatest racing Porsches of all time, it's practically OEM.

Thanks again Mark!

I will post some picks this weekend.

Sincerely,

Mike

Well, I think I got in trouble.. The 917 shift knob post with all the info and photos seams to have been eliminated.

Very nice!

Thanks Alan!

Here are pictures of my knob and one mounted in my car..








I also sell the knobs as a bottle stopper. Goes great with that special bottle if vino!

Just wanted to say that your indication "here's a pic of my knob" sounds just wrong..............

[76911S]

Yeah I know!I thought that after I wrote it.. Should be in another forum.
Okay then a pic of my shift knob.
Sorry if I may have offended anyone, if I did, get your mind out of the gutter.

Mark,
Just wanted to let you know I recieved my 917 knob today and its already on the car. Looks great and feels great in hand. Nice work. What woods did you end up using?

Thanks,
Tom

I have used Maple and Walnut, as well as Maple and Australian Blackwood. I use a Polyurethane glue so there will not be a problem with the laminations moving when a car gets heated up.

Glad you are happy with it Tom. Any chance of a photo of it mounted?

Thanks..
Mark..

Here you go...

[76911S]

Wow! Now that’s red and black!!

Knob looks pretty good there. Boomer, maybe we should talk about a custom knob made from bloodwood and ebony. I could do vertical laminations as well.

I like your pedals, which ones are those?

[BOOMER]

Bought the pedals here...http://www.ajusa.com/cgi-bin/pb/view_product?prod_id=0000000092&part_number=AJR%20423%20113%20T&model_id=0026&ajr_skey=67827b1dfec22596fc9de1a7b2538558

I like the idea on the different woods, you have way to much free time on your hands

I got mine and I love the look but I wish it was a bit bigger. My orginal knob broke in to several pieces and I replaced it with a universal Dino until I could find something better. The 917 knob is definately better but I am so used to the larger grip size of the Dino that it feels very strange to have the 917 knob barely fill the palm area of my hand.

[76911S]

Boomer, I wished I had more time..This is what I do..

Jim, have you mounted it in your car? Bigger is not always better. I do make larger knobs as well though. (For those with a complex)

Pics of one of my knobs in a customers 67 911S.

I thought it looked nice enough to post.

Thought I would share, Carl Thompson sent me these 917 interior photos so I can use them for my knobs..
