Thanks and I agree the red could be closer to the original. I will send the original button to the maker to see if they can get a closer match.

How I love this FORUM thanks so much!

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?

 I only need to sell 100,000 and I've made $1M at $10 each lol..

 

As to what happened to all the originals? I assume replaced with some tacky Autotecnica knob from autobahn

Received mine. Thanks Gav.

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?

 

Cheers

I should of paid attention lol

Do you have a wooden knob or another style (leather)? These should be the same as stock 240z size ones.

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.

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

Hey Gav, any of these lying around that you or someone else may not need?

[gav240z]

None spare, I would need to get more made.
