ZHP Gear Knob - Found

[srhutch]

I looked into it, if you haven't got a 6 speed insert forget it you might as well order a modified one. If you have a OEM ///M knob you could have a go, but risk damaging the insert. I buggered up the insert on a normal 6 speed ZHP (although I think it had already started separation hence the problem).

For the £70 odd quid for a ready modified one it's just not worth messing around, plus I ave the OEM knob still if I sell the car on.

I hoped it might be a case of lifting the insert, drilling a hole down and dropping in a 50p orange led. But from what you say it doesn't seem that easy. I'd probably be better off buying a lighted one (if he has a 6 speed) and then selling on my standard ZHP.

That's pretty much the process, but IMO not worth the risk, as you say might as well buy pre made and sell on your ZHP
