EB GT gear knob

[neb]

Does anyone have a close up photo of an eb gt gear knob? Just curious what they look like, I looked at the brochure scan but its hard to see what it looks like properly.

Are they the same shape as the standard eb gear knobs only leather? or a bit different. I'm guessing they are worth alot of money to actually buy.

Here is a pic of gt knob :monkes:

[neb]

thanks hmm its alright... doesn't look as good as i thought it would!

[PULLY6]

Love the woodgrain mate. Thumbs up.

I dont know whay, but all the pre ef manual gearsticks look dodgy as. They never ever look good, and i dont know why that is. They usually look off center or offset at some ridiculous angle or bent. I dont know what it is!

Im with you Ben, i reckoned that the GT knob would have looked better than that!

[neb]

I like how my gear stick looks now, I have the gt leather bag bit instead of the dodgy rubber jelly thing i hate that! And I've also got a shortened gear stick from BPT which looks and feels heaps better. I'm just using a standard base model eb gearknob.. which i like the look of the shape is good, but would be alot nicer if it was leather instead of plastic.

your new gearknob looks good dan, i wouldn't mind something similar to that but i'm not sure how well it would fit, and how well it would match everything else. the silver would match my headunit so could look alright

[santoitaliano]

what a shortened stick set you back?

cheers

WRX knobs look grouse and fit the T5 lever. Just need to lop a bit of plastic off that holds the Rex boot in place. They are pricey, but I get the odd free one.

danny: the ea - ed gear lever is different to ef/el. ea - ed is bent back on an angle and bent doward the driver where it bolts onto the shifter link. the ef i have not seen before but i beleive they come up come back then come up again putting the gear knob in a different place

[neb]

hmmm wrx gear knob... i'll have to look into that. yeah ef/el gear lever is a bit different.

santo to be honest i can't remember... i know it was less than 100 but cant really remember. just send bpt an email or call them and they'll be able to tell you

Would an AU MOMO knob fit? I reckon they look pretty good.

[Psycho Chicken]

That right Karl, the EF/EL one goes up, back, up.

AU momo should fit, can't see any reason why not.

Ive had a WRX gear knob in my car for 6 years, they have a nice wright to them, look heaps better than the longlooking EBGT ones.
AU MOMO's will fit.

The au momo one i got had bigger internal size au's must runn thicker shifters... Aralidite fixed that....

I did this with the WRX knob, i drilled out the hole, which was to small, they filled it with a hardening Epoxy putty.
Once dried i drilled the hole to the correct size, and screwed it on.

How does the boot match up to the bottom of the knob? I never got around to doing it, but the boot end looked a bit smaller than the bottom of the Rex knob. Mind you this was a MY05 knob, so you might have an older one.

yeah thats what i don't like about the ebgt gear knob looks too long... have you got a pic of the wrx gear knob? where did you get it from wreckers/ebay/new?

[Psycho Chicken]

This is the MY05 knob, about $150, I think, stuffed if I paid for it!

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....sPageName=WDVW

There's one.

[neb]

cool that knob looks great... exactly what i want. have you still got yours or did you sell it?

thanks for the ebay link

[Psycho Chicken]

Naw I got rid of it with all my T5 parts.

[Polyal]

Even that isn't particlaurly nice.

There are so mnay nice after market ones that I wouldn't even bother with Ford ones, or any factory knob.

[neb]

i don't want no aftermarket ricey led gear knob :P all i want is a black leather one that feels good to use and looks right. i really like my stock eb gearknob i have now.. would be perfect if it was leather instead of plastic

Polyal I dont know, see I did think the same as what you thought and looked at plenty of gearknobs before choosing mine, and I found that out of all the momo and ricerbarn gearknobs that I saw, the nicest one was the perforated leather wrapped stictched Fiesta option from the ford dealer! And it fitted perfectly anyways.

If you havent seen it here it is.



Glad you like it Ben, Thanks mate ;)

[santoitaliano]

[neb]

looks pretty good santo it fits in well... a little big for my liking though. also your ashtray looks like its a different colour to the rest of the stereo surround bit? might just be the light though

[FPVWEPN]
