Looking for a Shift Knob from -Titanium Cavallino
Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone had a Titanium Cavallino gear shift knob they want to get rid of. The one I am looking for is a dark titanium color, Ferrari style ball, and fits in a G50 shift lever. A fellow Pelican, Mike in OC had one on his Turbo and I have not been able to find one.. Here is a picture of one... (of the pair, it is the one on the right)... ![]() ![]()

Sweet... Have you considered having one made?
I was going crazy looking for an OEM knob and looked into having one made since my year was NLA.

Try contacting them perhaps? http://www.bizdrv.com/company-info/4028809a13dd74c80113dd9379092dd0/Titanium-Cavallino-California-USA.shtml The site link does not seem to work.
Cheers. Dave

Thanks guys. I will contact the link you provided Dave.
I know they went out of business, but maybe the number will lead me to the original maker. I think TurboMike got one from him from a left over stash he had in storage. Maybe I'll get lucky. Never considered having one made for myself. How much do you think that would run??

If it were machined from a solid piece I would imagine that the titanium stock alone would run you $50 or so. Look at McMaster-carr's website for a baseline. Machining time would probably be about an hour or so using carbide tools. So bottom line, that's a pretty expensive shift knob.

Your right Dave,
ARC is 2nd on my list. I am thinking that is what I will end up with. Not bad really..;-)
