Wooden gear knob
« on: 21 January 2011, 17:36:01 »
I got one of these today.

It's actually well worth the money and comes with clear instructions which list the Omega .
I'ts clearly old stock as the box was a bit dusty .
I haven't fitted it yet but thought i'd mention it you all as there are only 5 left according to the listing .

I have an aluminium one fitted at the moment and it's held on with a grub screw (I hate the thing, it's freezing cold in the morning). The ad says something about supplying 'the glue' so that may well be a clue ;) :P ;D

The original has to be carefully cut off .
Here's a copy of the instructions .

So, as an auto Mig owner (and never having driven a manual :-[), it's lift - to the right and down for reverse on a manual Mig then?

Curiously, :-?

It looks like a very good match, although the only thing that would concern me is the lack of gearing on top of the gear knob. We all know where reverse is, but my cars is ocasionally borrowed and I think it'd probably confuse a few people who don't drive an Omega...but for the price I think it's very interesting. Much better than the horrendous prices Irmscher pick from the sky  :o

I may turn the top of the gearknob down so that the 28mm badge sits on the top  or alternativly just stick it on the console where it looks "right "
