Nope onlything i will say is metal gear knobs get very cold >.<

 

I absolutely agree... I used to have a momo one on my 200. I had to wear gloves or pull my sleeve up to use the gear knob in the winter!

 

i have a st. george one from halfords lol. and yeah they do get cold but its because theyre cooool.....

 

i got one in my brm its standerd it was hell driving when it snowed llol

 

this is the price we pay for looking good

 

Looks good, may go have a look at it this afternoon, i just have a cheap metal one from ebay at the moment on there!

 

I dont really see the appeal of modified gearknobs. I much prefer the standard rubber one

 

copy and paste to the right thread haha

the only reason i got one is because the previous owners had tried to fit an aftermarket one and completely screwed the thread. so much so that i ended up having to cut the thread off.

the st. george has a perfectly sized adaptor. it went on with a bit of a push and hasnt moved since

 

haha,

Yer the only reason i got one was my gear knob was cracked and broken, so bought one off ebay, and havent got round to getting a half decent one as it was only a few quid. Also I prefer the round shape, but most of the ZS or BRM or ZR ones are screw fit, and on my 45 its a push fit! So cant find an oem circular push fit!

 

yeah stainless or alloy ones get very cold, stick with a leather bound one, you can retro fit virtually any you want so have a look at the cheapies on flea bay.

I have a pug 406 one on mine!

 

Had a look at one and its to small, it would need some kind of collar between the gaitor and the bottom of the knob.

What are the cheap ones on ebay like?

 

Cheap ones on ebay are cheap....not the best quality at all mate

I will be selling a few gear knobs soon as I bought a few too many off ebay, got 2 momo ones for sale and will also be selling a richbrook gear gaiter with chrome surround.

 

what a bunch of pussies lol

 

hahaha +1 rep to you sir.

"oooo my hands gone a bit cold, whatever will i do?"

Man up lads
:clap:

 

Seriously - I find the Aluminium gear knob in the BRM really good to use - it just feels 'right' - much better than the leather one on the ZS

. . . . . and if you can't 'man up', there's always a solution to keep your dainty little hands warm

Gear-stick bobble hats! . . . . not mine either . . . . . mine's custom made in Brooklands Green and BRM orange

i have a leather gear knob but i so want one of these gear knob woolly hats for mine who do i have to pay to get one

 

that's quite possibly the funniest thing i've ever seen in a car

brilliant

 

OMG i want one!!!!

 

the BRM knob I'd reccommend! OK, it gets cold... but still, man up, and go for the "look"

Dan

 

iv got the tf knob and its awesome

 

The bobble hat in the photo is from those bottles of smoothies (innocenti?) from a while ago.

A nice, BRM-owning lady has 'custom-made' a limited run for a few BRM owners . . . . . and didn't want a penny for it - she's a 'top-bloke' . . . . . you know what I mean . . .

 

I have one of the original XPower Black ones. Made from alloy.

Alloy gearknobs don't go to well in the mornings, unless you like holding onto an icicle to change gear.

 

Man the **** up you pansies! I have two BRM gear knobs and I store them in the freezer overnight and when I drive the car the next morning it pulls the skin off my hand and I then peel the skin off the knob and sew it onto my danglesack and when I teabag the missus it makes her look like an old woman and she wonders what I'm laughing at and I tell her she looks like an old woman because of the excess scrotal baggage I now possess and she gets upset and rolls over and goes to sleep and I wake her up and get her to make me my dinner because females belong in the kitchen.

 

...........:hysteria::rofl: good 1 made me laugh

 

I wish I was a real man like you TJ, I have a thumb print on my bloody forehead...

 

So do I, after doing the handprints on the Rover's bonnet I forgot to wash my hands

 

note to self: dont facepalm oneself when one has paint on ones hands...

 

Wish I'd taken that advice

 

I have one now after seeing this thread, very pleased with it and also bought a gear shaft piece that holds the gaitor!

Here's a pic:

 

Looks great. If i had known you could get the shaft piece i would have got one. Never mind, just waiting for the momo sphere to turn up now.

 

Looks good, my only other gripe with metal gear knobs is if you have any rings on your left hand. My momo got scratched to hell after a while.

 

where do you get the peice to hold the gator on ? and whats the price of it.

thanks ricky

 

I got myn from ebay, :

And you can also get longer ones.

Hope this helps
