Manual gear stick knob
« on: October 30, 2022, 13:02:30 »
Can someone please tell me the diameter of the manual gear change knob and also the overall height from the carpet. I'm looking for  a five speed knob with reverse in the top left hand corner. If I can't find one I'll have one engraved.

Hi Gordon
Diameter of knob is 40mm and length to carpet (or ball of the shift lever) is approx 210mm on my 230.  Wolfgang at roadbook.com does a great 5-speed knob, I have one and am impressed - beautifully engraved.  Hope this helps.  Perry M.
