That's one pretty nice looking knob you have there.

Are you making them to sell? How much?

Looks like a posh sex toy

All the above, i.e. sex toy, batteries, looks good etc, but how much!

Can i have a double ended one please.

There's no getting away from the fact that it looks a little rude is there!!!

I wasn't thinking of making them to sell although I bought enough material to make 10 or 12 ish as it happens!

Not sure on how much they would be worth, guess I'll have to add up material costs and see how quickly I can make them and work something out

What size (length ) would people want?

I am very interested in having one, problem is I don't know what size I would need for an MK Indy R. So advice please.

Thanks

The IndyR has a taller tunnel doesn't it?

Basicaly, all I ever aimed for is to have the top of the gearknob, just below the height of the centrepoint of the steering wheel.

That way, changing gear just meant moving your hand across at the same height. This seemed quickest to me...

Regards,
Steve

Thanks, I'll measure up tomorrow and I'll drop you a u2u if that's ok. How much do you want for making one up?

Thanks
Pete.

I've not worked out all the material costs yet (bought from two diff places, and can't find the receipt for the Ali!)

Also, if I make some more from people, I will turn the ali in a batch of ten or so, hopefully taking as little time as possible making them as cheap as possible!

Once I know these bits n bobs, I will let you know an exact price inc P+P

Hi Steve -
I'm also interested in one for a Fury depending on price.

Thanks
Chet

PS - Did anyone else notice the reflection in the 2nd pic??
