Sounds kinda a strange question but what gear shift knobs do you have on your bug?

While driving rosie on the weekend my wife commented on how i had a timber style steering wheel and a black gear shift knob lol.

So I guess I should go to Supercheap and get a matching gear knob.

So I guess here it goes, show us your knob lol and where did you get it from?

i made mine out of camphor laurel.
planning on making some more in the future

I machined mine out of a piece of 50mm diameter T6 aluminium

wow

Very nice Interior... Well Done..

EXCELLENT..

Well konichiwa to you too.

Found this on the cip1 site unfortunately it is out of stock

I turned mine out of Aluminium.

What's wrong with the stock VW one? They are $4 brand new from Wolfsburg west for example.

I have a few different Shift knobs for my cars...



Also have a Heineken Beer tap for my Type 3, as well as standard ones....

I've got an '8' ball

nice and comfortable!

I found a guy who was selling actual billiard balls, tapped the thread to fit my empi trigger shifter and all. I went with the 8 ball.

Hope this helps mate

Guess I should show my new one.
My Carbonfibre one had been in for more than 5 mins so was due for a change...... actually I shouldn't be sarcastic, it's been over 10 years now.

I wanted a nice round symetrical one seeing as my gearstick likes to do the twist while I'm driving.
