G50 aftermarket shift knobs...suggestions please.
hey guys,
I'm soliciting advice for a replacement shift knob for my stock '88 knob. I looked a bit into our host's site, and found some decent Momo's...but there's no info on whether they will fit on the '87-'89 911. I thought about calling, then I thought that this community might give me some good info on other possible items that may be available. FYI, I have a 930S steering wheel with the gold P-car crest. I'd like to stay with either black leather or maybe a carbon / leather combo...nothing shaped like a phallus, please.  thanks.................

Hello kidrock,
I have this one: http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/MISC/POR_MISC_moknob_pg11.htm With this S. wheel in black: Pelican Parts.com - Jet Although the carbon parts are not exactly the same tone of black, I think it's a nice combo, not flashy. Take care, O-

Kidrock,
Mine came with several different sized rubber tips that you fit over your shift lever. Piece of cake. Take care, O-

I installed a used MOMO leather shifter knob in my 89 Coupe... kinda fits in well with the 20 year old leather... lol
You should have no problems whatsoever installing one in your car ,do yourself a favor and DON'T destroy your original one while removing ! Just check out the selling prices of good original shifter knobs on the classifieds !!! Phil

I like wood knobs ... you can turn one pretty easily on a lathe.

Go to a hobby shop and get some 1/4 balsa and laminate it up into a shift knob using a drill press as a lathe. Easy to work with and you end up with the ultra cool 917 like shift knob.
