Anyone in Atlanta have a spare shift knob?

I知 driving down to Atlanta for the weekend from Chicago and my cracked wood Amco shift knob fell apart a little bit ago. Anyone in Atlanta have something I can buy off them? I値l be at the Mitty on Saturday.

Apologies for not posting in the parts-for-sale section, but I thought the most eyes would se this here.

shift knob

Hi you could improvise until you purchase the knob
you want . Example drill a hole about 1 mm less than the size of
your shift lever into a piece of lumber, then tap it on to the
lever until its firm,.
i know its a bit messy but at least it will do temporary .

^^^ A hour or two with the dremel and you have made your own shift knob.

Auto Atlanta (the 914 parts and restoration business) should have something for you.

What part of town are you in? I dont have one but we can rig something if you are near Conyers.

Might check an Auto parts store (not a Napa some body that sells bling) Maybe you can get one of those cheap aftermarket one size fits all knobs to work until you get home

Get a ricer shift knob with the lower set screw from any auto part store.

It will fit and get you back home

A nearby Pep Boys took care of it for $12 it actually looks not-bad enough (pool cue white knob) to leave on for a while until I get a 917 knob.
