lol mine aint either must be my age :rotflmao:

 

you must be putting too much stress on it

 

I painted mine, or tried to...
got pi**ed of with it and whent to halfords!
got a nice black chrome one that fitted nice with my interior

 

i was hoping to keep mine as origional as possible - looking on fleabay they go for nearly £20 each !!!

I can live with a slight bit of silver paint fading until the damn thing snaps off in my hand (which it did on one TF i went to see before i bought this one) - ooh the stories i can tell from our search for this car!

but thats another thread....

 

Our Gear knob this time - I didn't end up buying a MOMO one...went for a bargain standard ball type one instead.
Just went to try it in place of our MOMO one and the ball type one just slips straight over the thread.

It seems like the nylon sleeve that's in the MOMO one has been stripped out of the silver ball type or are they different diameters?

I'm initially thinking of PTFE tape & glue..but has anyone got other tips to make it fit?

 

slack balls are really not a good thought

but i found i had to screw the ball type one for ages before it bit the thread... in fact I gave it to Daz and said i couldnt do it................ yes i know how difficult can it be lol

 

I'm ignoring all of the obvious innuendo in that reply...

 

Mine were faded and grubby...

Found some silver spray paint and made things worse. I gave up then.

Would love a set of Mike Sature ones but can't afford them...

I would also like tips on repainting my damn knob please :broon:

 

I ended up getting some shiny heater knobs from Mike Satur.

But my problem now is that the standard ball type gear knob is too big for my shaft...(plus it needs a good polish).

I know it's hard but please try to keep from giggling like school kids...it's been a while since we had a good 'knobbage thread'

lololololololol his bawlz are to big for his shaft causing issues with his knob lawl

 

You could shorten your shaft as there is a bit more err meat lower down....

 

you should see the other thread about "Polishing my ring"....

 

My missus just had a feel of my new knob now i've cleaned it and said she prefers the feel of leather...

The ball is still too sloppy around the shaft though, so i might have to try screw it a bit more forcefully.

 

lol you need to keep screwing till it can go no more

 

I thread full of filth and i'm no part of it

 

you are now :lol:

 

Do you want to see my knob?

This morning i twisted off the MOMO type tatty knob off and give my ball type a damn good hard screwing...it took a while and my wrist is sore now but it bit and is firmly in place.

Wanna see it?

 

I hate it when Nobs get bit
Peace
John

 

oh no, MG's gone x-rated lol, for the record though my knob is still shiny and firmly in place :hyper:

 

I painted the knobs in my 25 from Silver to Stone Grey.

Very simple to do, I just keyed them with some wet and dry paper, dried them, degreased them, light coats of primer and painted them, clear coat added for extra sheen.
