Gearknob fitment help . . .

[Mikebob]

Could someone please help me out, have a look at this link --> http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/ go to the online shop and then find your way into the momo gear knob section, theres two gearknobs that say they are for audi/vw applications, do you think they would fit the seat because they look like the same fitment as the seat. Cheers guys.

lol f**k now im going to have to purchase the exact same gear knob but with the vw fitment. another £50 down the drain. thanks anyway dude.

You should be able to get any aftermartket gearknob to fit mate. I got one from a local car accessory shop for £18 and it looks great. Just three little grub screws to hold it onto the shaft and its very secure. £50+ seems like a lot of money for a gearknob IMO, just seems like a waste just to have MOMO written on it.

Ye it looks great but the only thing is the leather gatier keeps falling down and showing the nasty brass looking gear shaft, i want it too look flushed

 

[Mikebob]

Can anyone help with suggestions on keeping that leather gatier flush with the gear knob? and not falling down every time i change gear?

There should have been a black circular folding plastic clasp when you took off the old knob, that's need to hold the gaiter in place

I am after a gear knob aswell, i am after one from a mark four golf.
Will it be a straight fit and where can i get one from ?

[Jonto]

can't see the pics mate.................photobucket is blocked by the server

 

[182blue]

lol, i can see them ?, anyone else

 

[EdButler]

Oh yes i can see!!

So how much would that set me back??

 

[182blue]

i got it from a notts seat dealer for £50, he fitted it for me too, think they should be about £90, he has some carbon fibre topped ones now, in fact they were doing a service deal of £100 for a seat sport knob and strut brace , both fitted too, bit of a bargain

if the gaiters fallin down wee tip i learnt in the focus get the gear knob on and tighten up!

pull the gaiter of the gear knob attach a few cable ties underneath one over each other and shud sit pretty!
