Pre preg carbon fibre gear knob.
Hi all
I am going to do a run of pre preg carbon fibre gear knobs in the shape of a caterham's in like a tear drop shape, it will be a bare moulding
with no insert so you can make your own to suit your gear lever thread or have some grub screws to secure it. You are best to use ally for the insert
and bond with Loctites Hysol C2.
If anyone's interested let us know to help us. with numbers.
If theres anything else in carbon fibre I might be able to do just drop us a line and I might be able to help.
Cheers.
Tony T....

Hi Toby, could be interested depending on price and also more detail on size? Particularly total height.
ETA presume you mean this style? http://www.caterhamparts.co.uk/product.php?id_product=3

Hi all
I have taken some pics of said knob with a link to them as for some reason uploading them here does not work. I can do them for £25.00 as they
are pictured in the link or I can bond a M10 x 1.5 ally insert to suit a sierra type 9 gearbox gear lever or I can do any other popular sizes to suit
the purchasers needs for £40.00. I'll have some pics of the knob with insert and dimensions up in a few days.
Hope this helps.
