Default 944 gearknob replacement cheap 'N easy pictures attached

Hi all,
Been doing some work on the '44 recently and decided to get rid of the nasty carpet round the gear shift area. The base is cut from a very common item that you would find in most hardware stores......the **** itself is a uviversal fitting one $12 from ebay - total cost of this modification - about $20 !
I think it updates the interior nicely. Now if anyone wants to know more just ask and I might do a step by step for this one.
While you're looking in, can you all have a look at my other posts - I need help with my wheels ( what spacers to use etc 52mm offset cups to go on an '83 n/a ? )
Cheers
Joe

its a nice job
but I have to say it simply does not go
I think the metal makes it like well, home made, if it was covered with OEM material, hmm maybe.

but what was wrong with just getting the original part ?

anyway,
kudos to you, you gave it a try

I agree, very nice craftsmanship. Too bad it doesn't fit in with the rest of the interior.

Paint it black, I think that would look much nicer! Very good idea and good work though!
