What number of buyers do we need to get to, for the price to be nearer £100 than £200? While my knob is in excellent condition, I would hate for signs of wear to develop after my excessive polishing? I currently have splinters on my backside, from sitting on the fence here, but think this might be worth it, if the price was more in line with a budget SWMBO would approve.

Be careful ... Excessive polishing of your knob whilst sitting on a fence sounds a risky business to me :)

Hi everyone

Sorry for the radio silence. This project sadly fell appart because the supplier pulled put a few months ago...

I had shelved this for a few months while I got the Torque Tube on my 4200 refurbished which was a more important project than a fresh shifter.

Now the tube is restored and my car is finally being reassembled I have put a few calls in and a very local engineering company seems eager to help

As before getting the shifter design into 3D CAD is proving challenging. I know how to do 2D CAD but do not have the software for 3D/Solid works and all of the colleagues I know in design at work don't have access to it either. There is one chap at work who might be willing to help but annoyingly I do not know him at all.

I have a meeting with the engineering company on Monday 18th October to discuss the options but it's looking likely I'll have to pay a third party to 3D scan it and add in the features such as the H pattern

I'll update once I know more.

Fernando, my dance card is kinda full right now, but I am a cnc programmer, and I have a nos briarwood knob to copy. If you need some help with this let me know.

Thank you for the offer.

I just sent through all the details to a local engineering consultancy who said they will quote me on 3D scanning the gearknob and doing the CAD work

If it doesn't cost an arm and a leg I'll go ahead with it and recoup the costs through the group buy based on what the CNC guys quote on the 18th October

Depending on all of that I might come back to you

Why not speak to Stindigs contacts and have a machined aluminium knob?
