Where can I get a new knob made up ?

[s5tvr]

I'm looking at getting a bespoke alloy gear knob made up - does anyone know of or can recommend an enginnering company that could fabricate one for me ?

Thanks.

Wouldn't mind a decent one myself if they are able to make a batch of more than one?

[so called]

I got a new off Ian at TorqueRVT a couple of weeks ago.

They do have some good stuff and I already have one of their gear knobs, but I'm looking to have one designed and manufactured from scratch.

Tried painting the stock one, but screwed it but! Have tried to sand the paint back but it looked 'patchy'. Going to do the lot properly and polish it up. Will get some pics when its done though it might take a few days

So I got bored and got cracking with the gear knob.. It could do with another going over with the polishing but heres the latest...






Not got it in the car yet, might look a little odd being polished and the other bits being brushed, but least it looks neater than before where it was all chipped etc.. will look better than the Max power type abomination I bought from eBay which didn't look as good as expected nor does it fit particularly well!

Mick,

Many thanks for replying and likewise hope to meet up at one of regional meets soon.

I simply bought an aftermarket (real)carbon fibre item with a handbrake handle to match...and they look mega!
