I contacted JF Customs about a new gaitor for the 42, they said they didn't do one but if I could send them one for a template they would do it FOC for me in exchange for them acquiring the template for future sales. They where great to deal with and did a great job!Found by 30 year old Momo anotomic gear knob I had fitted on my '91 Alfa Romeo 33S Permanent 4! So decided to fit it to my M140i.
Polished up the lower collar from the original black anodised finish, and bought a new leather gaitor from J F Customs on ebay. This came with the plastic retaining frame, excellent quality (real smellie leather) and only 20 quid.
Necessary as the original BMW knob is attached to the original gaitor.
Well chuffed.
I very much dout if you bought a new gear knob today, you would be fitting the same knob to a car in 2051!

Their quality is 100% and puts the original BMW gaitor to shame in my case.I contacted JF Customs about a new gaitor for the 42, they said they didn't do one but if I could send them one for a template they would do it FOC for me in exchange for them acquiring the template for future sales.

People have knob collections?

Yes that definitely needs some polish. Or something.
Mrs C's knob has a nasty rough flaky bit. I'm thinking of getting a new model unless someone has a better idea?
