Default Chrome Tbar buttons EOI

I have found someone who can chrome our Tbar buttons. He needs to see one for a firm price so I will send him one, but he gave me a ball park figure of $15 to $30 depending on quantity and what he needs to do he will need at least 20 to make it viable. I am starting a list but that is just to get an idea of interest not an order you will need to provide your own button to be done but you can still drive without it so that shouldn't be a drama i'll start the list off. If we go ahead I will post the list in a new thread and you can confirm or delete your name

You don't need the button to drive - all it does is let the handbrake down. Carry a smallish screwdriver to do the same job as the button, or don't pull the handbrake up.

Are handbrake buttons an option too?

I'm potentially in for both, but need to check the condition of the chrome ones I already have, if they're ok, I won't bother.

Typical! LOL!

You put the car in first, unscrew the phillips head screw on the front of the shifter and slide off the handle. The button will come out the side.

How much for a normal new button?

I might get a new one and send that to you to get chromed, then when it comes back just replace the old one with it.

As long as it can handle being touched repeatedly (insert bad joke here) I'm in.

I'd probably be interested in 1 and maybe a second as a spare. Need to see what I have laying around here. I think I have 2 black ones.
