Right so mine is starting to look pretty shabby, see attachment. Been looking on ebay regularly and one finally appeared… $350, WTF, not even new! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/181693591842

I’ll pass… Surely be cheaper to get mine retrimmed.

Cheers FLI. Where did you get the momo one from?

I think i’ll look at getting mine retrimmed if I can find someone that can do the HSV stamp in it.

Mate that I got the car from (8 years ago) said he looked at getting a new one when he first got it (5 years before that) but the stamp wasn’t deep. Just if he bought a dozen of em!

Ebay. Just under $100 and its beautiful quality. There is a new VT HSV knob on there which is what I really wanted as I have the 6 speed and they want $900 for it!! I offered them $400 and then said no lol.

I think its the future though, these cars are going to start getting harder and harder to find genuine parts for. Once they start falling into the genuine restoration category (they are just on the cusp of that imo), prices will just climb and climb as people want genuine or nothing else. Basic market economics really, as availability goes down but demand goes up, prices increase.

So we are taking correct period reproduction of early (VR) manual HSV gear knobs?

Correct…

If you take leather off it is a T5 knob wrapped in leather.

I have the HSV leather stamp..

Sign me up VPGTS76, I WANT ONE! I would be doing a run of a hundred if I was you… if you can find the T5 knobs…

I wondered if it was the T5 knob underneath as I can just see the circle that goes around the gear pattern on mine…

Why not sell them on an exchange basis, customer sends you their old HSV/T5 knob then you return them a New Leather HSV one

I only have one of these for my VS

Make these but in a 5 speed and R in 6th spot

But I’ll just keep this one as I have 6speed

And I’m with Gary but I’m goin a PPG t56 sequential dog box

Much cheaper then a hollenger and still uses a normal clutch and slave ciylendar so it’s a straight bolt in
