Made my own out of teak. Made it using the drill press as a lathe.

Nice knob, Sandman (edit: and Don too!).

Say, how did you mount those switches to the tunnel? That's a neat idea, though it looks to me like you'd have to do the pretzel to use them.

Thank you! And I like the latest knobs you had made, very much!

As for the switches, when I removed my center console, there was a large hole in the tunnel carpet that the wiring harness fed through. I just stuffed the rear defrost and hazrd switches in the hole. I do have a bracket to attach them under the dash, but to be honest, I kind of prefer them where they are. I also never use them.

wow! I love that shahram... looks like you machined out some of the shifter,

how did you fit the wood ? do you have the screw on top?
want to sell one of those? I'd love a wood (917 style) shift know for my wevo.

a lightened stalk and a 917 knob seem to go well together...
