cheers fellas... :wink:

The objective is to find them for the right price....

Here's a bit more Gen,

Paul Mattys have three, they buy them in at £32 and have offered to meet me half way...

Dick Lovette offered a 10 percent discount...

SWL have none

SJ's have a few as well...

all to highly priced...one place wanted £82 for one gear knob. (Not one of the afore mentioned places)

In the past I've sourced the OEM fans and the OEM seatbelts (Not Lotus or there prices), It's dead easy to find the stock, it's another thing to find them for the right price.....

The search continues for a 30 quidish new OEM gearknob...

Just thought I'd mention this here. I just got a new Grant Corsa Carbon Fibre shift knob, and I really, really like it. I like the looks, and it feels really good. It also was parked top-down in the sun for several hours today, and the knob didn't get too hot. Just thought I'd mention it for anybody who might be interested.

Tweet, I'll bet that would look good with CF escutcheons, CF in place of the lower door carpet sections, and some CF trickery on the panel, but in isolation......?

When you get your new OEM gearknob, whats that mean anyway. Can we buy one of your old ones. We would like to take the boss or connector out if its got one. And put it in a purple pool ball. What the lady wants she useualy gets. Is this possible with whats inside the stock one? Is it a screw thread? If not we could be interested in a OEM I think. Andy

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
