I will send the original button to the maker to see if they can get a closer match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilltech Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Bloody hell - again. I can't believe the number of these buttons you're selling. Just what are people doing to the originals on their cars that they all need replacing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume replaced with some tacky Autotecnica knob from autobahn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDM-TOY Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Hey Guys the gear knob i have has a larger hole to fit the incert and the ones Gavin sent (not your fault mate) are smaller and dont fit. Are there any gear knobs floating around that are the 240z ones that someone has a extra to sell?

Administrators gav240z Posted February 27, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted February 27, 2018 Do you have a wooden knob or another style (leather)? These should be the same as stock 240z size ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its a wodden one but Its ebay knob.

NickF Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) I know its been a long time any left ???? Thanks Nick if anyone has an original (look like a lot were changed or lost?) I would be prepared to buy providing they were complete thank you Edited November 23, 2022 by NickF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted November 24, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted November 24, 2022 I would need to look, but I don't think so. I did look at having more made, but not sure of demand. Probably not a bad idea to make a few more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Printed an insert needs a bit of fine tuning but not too bad. Need to cut out filaments+ rings a little bigger Still after an original in any (not broken)condition Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
