just got myself a series 1 ba gt gearknob and fitted it to the ef with the proper stick. although when it tightens the numbers are upside down and since the thread can only go on one way no matter wherer you try to position it this will always be the case can anyone help me?

You get a nut the turns the opposite way on there first then adjust it upwards so the most you can turn the knob ends up so the numbers are the right way around.

I'm going to have to sand away at the shaft though so I can fit some leather between the knob and the shaft (my my, this is sounding phallic!) for my mAnUaL sTyLeZ boot. Or, I'll "roll" it kind of like a hem so it surrounds the knob, and just glue the sucker on, with the screw that holds the knob to the shaft also being an anchor point for the leather. Wayne, if you're reading this, I haven't had a chance to chop up your leather! I'm gonna practice on some (crappy, bad coloured) vinyl first mate -Dave- |
