Genuine black gear stick ball


Recommended Posts

The spherical ones for TR5s and early 6s are about 20 quid from Moss. The teardrop ones are NLA unfortunately.

 

I know this because my Border Terrier pup chewed my original teardrop version when I left him alone in the car for a few minutes. I replaced it with a spherical one from Moss. I got my own back when the appropriate time came; My terrier is now missing a couple of his own spherical appendages.

I have never seen the gear knobs from

Moss but I don't think for one minute they would sell anything

If it wasn't good and for £20 it's worth ago.

If I was reading this peter I'd buy what ntc advised you to buy

And nothing else. As he knows what he's talking about.

I don't want to sell my gear knobs for an extra £15 because they are original

I'm Just saying the knobs are mine on the eBay link that was added on here.

Personally I think £35 is a good price for one of these knobs. Think yourself lucky you are not after the later teardrop knob then. My cousin put one on fleabay and it sold for over £200 !!!! Yes that might have been a one off but blinking heck that was some price. I have seen the round ones go for over £60 so Peter maybe £35 is not so much after all.

Afternoon chaps, amazing thread about a little Black Gear Knob !

Moss have done well sourcing one and selling for just over £20, but as we all know it's a reproduction part.

Helen Gill's on ebay is no doubt an original, from a loyal supplier , who is well known and trusted, so £35 isn't expensive for an Original sort after Part.

Just think about how much your car's are worth now, it pales into insignificance..

Just a Sunday Afternoon thought,

Cheers,

Conrad.

I 'found' one on an old Triumph Herald.

 

Believe it's the same with the correct thread.

Yes the thread is right.

My research says there are different diameters. They started life at 1 7/16". Then grew to 1 1/2". The 22 B 19 genuine is from an MG or sorts and is 1 5/8" dia.
