Only minor minor gripe/suggestion would be to recess the grubscrews a tad. Countersunk hole and shorter screw to hide the slight protrusion of the grubscrews as you can feel/catch them sometimes.
Are the grubscrews an off the shelf item?
Worried that I may need to have some spares on hand if I ever lost one, some. What spec are they?
But it's a tiny gripe for what is otherwise an outstanding piece of work

nice one

Any other projects lined up?
How about a matching handbrake handle?

Though about it or a aluminium h pattern gear boot.
But not for a while I have a few weddings and other engagements to attend.

Ever thought of making alloys?

Ha ha.
Would cost about £500 per wheel.

But my lathe and mill are big enough though.

I am skimming a colleague's breaks down to get a nice clean finish on them.

(To anyone that thinks this doesn't work, it does just need to take time in the set up)

"Nearly" received mine

I was really surprised by the weight !! much so heavier than BMW one's !!!!

The finish and quality are great Oliver !

Thank you,
Sorry again about the mix up.

Picked it up today. Love the weighty feel of it. Installed in no time at all. Will give it a thorough testing later on.

Thanks again Buckley, lovely bit of kit. Hopefully there'll be more bits to come

Ollie, received mine today, quick tug on my old knob and fitted the "Buckley special" in a nik nak. Great bit of machining, precision fit and a perfect shape, so much better than the standard knob, makes it much slicker change on 1st and 2nd and just looks ace!

Many thanks Ollie, really glad your project got off the ground.......whats next!

Doubt it but who knows, I will think of something I'm sure.
I didn't realise people liked custom parts so much.

This looks like a fine precision piece of kit. Its not easy to see the price though, can I suggest you edit your first post and give the price (reading thought the thread I believe its £37 inc postage within UK?)

Yeah I didn't know the postage when I first made them.
That's it for now though I'm not making anymore.

Ah, right - that's a pity as I fancied one.

Well I have one that someone hasn't claimed yet.
It's a 6 speed with the Z4 logo.

I will give him some more time but if he doesn't claim it I can message you?
