    Custom wood shift knobs

    Been trying a few things out and am gonna be making some wooden shift knobs. This is just a basic one out of hickory, and stained an cleared! Any interest in these? A basic one like this would be around the $50 shipped range. I will be making some different styles as well. I will also be doing some laminated ones with different colors of wood also so those will be a little more!

                So far ive been using an old shift knob that was junk and using the snap piece from the inside, so it snaps on like the oem one do. Junk shift knobs are kinda hard to come by it seems though so i'm limited!

                  What's the PN? I've always wondered if it'll fit e30, guess it does?

                    The standard H pattern is available, but the bmw roundel is not. The roundel only available complete with the leather classic knob.

                      Are you able to put in set-screws on each side?

                      I want a tall wooden one like pictured. Maybe a little thicker and taller.

                          I'm sure I could somehow. Message me with details of what you want! Height diameter etc and I'll see what I can come up with! Also if you have a certain wood or color you want.

                            What's the average weight of these?
                            I'd imagine you could bore out the center to accommodate for a weight?
