Replacement Automatic Gear Knob

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Replacement Automatic Gear Knob

Post by Lwdajo » Sun Jul 28, 2019 6:16 pm

Hi All,

Is anyone interested in a wooden replacement for the rubber coating on auto gear knobs?

I've got a local carpenter looking into a design, so it would help to understand if there is demand, as it could reduce the price if made in higher quantity.

Hi All,

Following an unsuccessful attempt by my joiner to engineer a replacement wooden surround my auto gear knob, I bought a leather-covered version from Q&K Citroen Classics via Facebook.

Factoring in p+p both ways, it was too expensive, but I have to say they have done a good job.

Here's a link to some photos:
