Hi all,
Wondering if anyone with a Storm Motorwerks V1 gearknob can help me out. My Coupe has one installed, but I didn't get an allen key when I bought the car.
Thinking of swapping to a ZHP gearknob for a more OEM look, but I can't figure out the allen key size needed to remove the Storm Motorwerks knob - all I know is none of my allen keys fit!
Does anyone know what size allen key I need for it?
Cheers for any help!

Can’t help with size, but I have that gearknob with allen key (tiny) and the handbrake lever which I lost the key too (super tiny). Bought this set which has everything in it and will cover both items if you don’t mind waiting a day and spending £10.

Have you tried contacting storm motorwerks?
I’m not sure but I think my handbrake was one of the first… possibly even development….
The gear knob is lovely….. thing of beauty.

I was searching around to try and find if I or others had mentioned the Allen key size but no joy…..
Here’s my handbrake thread though….

I tried this when I couldn't find my handbrake key, but no response.

Thanks all, really appreciate the help.
Yep, tried contacting Storm Motorwerks, but no response on my end either. Time to treat myself to an Allen Key Set with a 2mm piece!
