I'd also be interested in a gear lever gait in stainless but to finish off the interior the hand brake is also a must. I would've thought the handbrake would be the easist of the two and quite a few forum members are asking for that. Why not crack the easy job first and have the gear gait as a longer term job?
I am being purely selfish as i'd like a matching handbrake now! :lol:
I think you might be right, the gear lever gate will take a while.
I will not be in stainless steel though that would be a nightmare, I will be doing them out of aluminium.

Haway Oliver!
Still loving my gearknob and it's garnered quite a few positive comments over here in Holland!

My favourite comment came from my good ladyfriend Laura who took delight in reminding me how often I seem to polish my knob and how it has its own little microfibre cloth n the glovebox. :D

Put me down for whatever you end up doing next as I'm confident it will be just as good quality as the knob!
Gear gate sounds like a goer. Personally, I'd prefer a handbrake handle. Can imagine the button mechanics could be a little tricky to fab up tho ?

Keep us posted fella :thumbsup:

I can think with the demand for aftermarket gear knobs and hand brake handles that should be a core offering with developments to come!

I’d love to do that mod to my car, 8) :D

True but I never intended to make them a common item, I only wanted to make some unique pieces and stop there.

There is news on the horizon though. 8)

I had been looking and the gear stick might be to wide to make.

That's a shame. I think the gear knobs you did are second to none. keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

I somehow completely missed this thread and the gearknob thread, I saw your work at Zedfest and it’s very good (I already have a ZHP so isn’t the end of the world I missed it) but would defo be interested in the handbrake if it actually happens :fuelfire:

Thank you, yeah the handbrake handle is next on my list :thumbsup:
So it will happen there will be a new thread opening in September so keep an eye out I have a feeling they will go very quick.
Also anyone who bought a gear know will have priority for 1 week :!:

Btw who had the gear knob?
Was it with lines or logo?
