Can anyone tell me where I can source a alloy gear knob that fits the V8s?

I dont think it is Dave, its an old imperial thread as far as I know. I used one of the universal gear knobs with the grub screw. Have a look at the pic in my profile, I got mine from www.europaspares.com

Leven and Richbrook ones are held on by 3 grub screws - will fit any gear lever as long as it's not really spindly.

I have an alloy ball type gear knob and it sure makes my hand cold this time of year...thought I might knit myself a little woolly cover for it...I wished It still had the original leather/plastic one.

Thanks guys is the reverse lift not an issue with a grub screw fitting on the V8s? Also is the hand brake handle from levin if so what type as it matches well. Saw on V8smiths pics the other shiny bits where did they come from?
