I’m still planning to go to the Revs Institute in Naples in the next few weeks so I’ll ring you to meet up for that coffee

Below you will see one of the pics you sent me of the finish product in your car. I love how it came out.



Thanks!


I look forward to that my friend....and thanks for posting that pic!

See you soon.

Thanks to you both for the inspiration and the contact for Manuel! Currently in the process of specing mine, measured the shift lever today for him ...

My car is in winter storage, but I can't wait to get it.

Hi Guys,

I just ordered one from Manuel. What size adapter or did you decide on? He says the levers are either 16.5X7.2mm or 13.8X7.2MM.

My car is a 2008 C4S Cab. I do not yet have the car, so I cannot measure it.

Based on my experience, the 16.5mm. I ordered the smaller size and needed to modify the shifter.

The measurements should be 16.25 x 7.2mm. Make sure you highlight to Manuel the 16.25 instead of the 16.5 that he suggests.

Hi Guys,

Have the ****, its beautiful! Quick Question - am I retaining the plastic rings that lock the leather boot in place, or am I discarding them? If I am no longer using them, how do I keep the leather boot nice and tidy under the ****? Should the lock nut be visible, or is the boot covering it?

Thanks,

Dagersh

Here's how mine looks - I discarded the plastic and attached the boot with the zip tie Manuel included. Boot is basically "inside-out" when the zip tie is attached. It fit pretty neatly into the adapter groove.

Finally had the camera out last night and was shooting the car

My finished product after a few other winter interior upgrades:
- Wood **** from Manuel, satin mahogany finish + brushed adapter
- OE Porsche SSK
- Painted the PCM with a rubberized matte black
- New leather shift boot, extension piece, handbrake, and console lid from Classic9

Really happy with how it turned out!
