I know as mentioned above some have a screw that goes from the top of the knob down to the shifter. I'd need some specific measurement to produce for different model years. It is quite true though, it wouldn't be much fun after a while.

I guess if anyone is interested send me a PM and we can work something out. Sure as **** cheaper than $100. I spent about $60 for all the wood in all the knobs above and still have more wood left.


Yah, if you can make the type that secures with the retaining screw that would be amazing, and I'd buy at least 2 since I like swapping out shift knobs to change things up. Is there anyone local to you with a 87 930 who can let you take the data you need to make them?
