    So gents my CNC machined leather stamp is complete, PM me if you are interested in a re-pro knob. If you have a knob already great, if not I can source one off ebay etc (or you can do this yourself).

    Will throw a few up on ebay once I’m confident of the finished product. I’ve got one guy who is first cab off the rank and I’m doing one for myself and one for Gary.

    Well, one day I was thinking of going a sequential manual, so i thought i would keep it for that, but tbh I have literally just had my first drive with the glide and am in love!  So I am starting to wonder about fitting the manual HSV knob to the pro ratchet for a really nice stealth sort of look, which I reckon would be in keeping with the look of the car.

    Don’t worry, not surprised I have confused you, I have this weird ass grand master plan in my head but its subject to change without notice!!

    All makes sense ha,, I reckon that could look really good to hope you pull it off actually. That drop box i linked you too come up nice

     

     

    I thought you may have just been like me and had an odd obsession with hoarding specific vs parts  ha ha

    Stay tuned too, I have this (I think) nice idea for the shifter surround too, but want to get it home and play with it first.

    The one being sold was the wrong size. It was too big and won’t sit on the knob properly. It was the size required to stamp the horn pad. I feel a bit sad for the person that paid $700 for it as it won’t work. In addition the gear knobs do not have the pronounced circle around the symbol like that stamp has. Again shows its for the steering wheel.

    Depends on whether you are supplying the knob or not.

    Looking good, I think I saw that other guy said what leather you use makes a big difference, not sure if have found that?
