I was lucky enough to order the Buckley shifter and handbrake set as well as some alu side repeater covers I haven't used yet.
I keep an allen key in the cubby in case if I ever write it off in a crash, then at least I can recover these bits before anyone else gets their sticky little fingers on them lol. That is of course, if I'm still in a fit state to remove them!
:lol:
Such optimism...
Thoughts on Storm Motorwerkz V4 shift knobs?

That reminds me of one particularly hot summer when I was 5, while wearing shorts and jumping into the back of my old man's Ford Cortina GT which had vinyl seats that had been baking in the hot sun all morning.tug said:
The pain inflicted to the delicate skin on the back of my legs on contact with the near-molten hot black vinyl was something akin to a wasp sting, times 50.
I've never been able to look at vinyl the same way since.

I know that feel.. When I grew up in Dubai, the seatbelt + strap was my worst enemy.. they are extra painful when the temps hit 50-51 celcius

Yes, my stitching is a bit loose. Avoid squeezing it if you can

As someone who 'makes' things as a hobby which has now actually become my 2nd business, I'd find that quality totally shoddy and unacceptable. It's clearly very loose and over time it's going to degrade more the more you use it by having any contact with that loose bit of leather. It looks like a poor design/implementation.
Personally I would have had some form of clamp or securing mechanism/ring for the top edge of that tube of leather. As it is it just looks like it's cut to size and then plonked over the knob.
The end-user quality/finish both technically and aesthetically is something I put a real focus on with my products and I get a lot of positive feedback for it. I publish that feedback and it leads directly to more orders. I have also implemented some improvement suggestions by clients (Customer feedback loop).
Why not send them an email/photo to indicate your displeasure with it? See what they come back with.
