993 shift knob upgrade - help

[jzeeff]

I bought a wood shift knob, supposedly from a 993 turbo. I went to install it and found that it wouldn't fit.

The stock 993 knob appears to be leather covered rubber that fits on an approx 1/2" x 1/4" shaft. The new knob has more like a 1" x 1/2" hole with a clip.

Is there a rubber bushing I'm missing? Looks like I need that and a new leather boot (the existing one is part of the knob).

Any idea where I could purchase these additional parts?

AFAIK, the rubber part is integral to the knob.

Thanks. Maybe I could just pour it full of some type of liquid rubber.

Or possibly disassemble a regular leather covered knob and see if the rubber in there is the right size to act as a bushing.
