Thinking of replacing the gearknob on the Three Wheeler, the standard item just doesn't look/feel quite right to me. Like the look of the Richbrook that Peter Dron installed on his, but, rather than just rush in and order one I thought I would ask whether anyone out there has other suggestions ?
In my Zetec 4/4, I've used a Richbrook 'Classic', but turned down to something like the 'Touring'. 'Touring' is not available as a 'lift-for-reverse' and the original plain sphere 'Classic' felt too bulky. Gerry. http://www.richbrook.co.uk/gear-knobs/touring95
The replacement cost of the shift knob, were it to be stolen or lost, is quite expensive ($120 according to the dealership). You can go to ebay, or wherever, and get any shift knob with the standard Mazda MX-5 thread pattern for a replacement.
After seeing Asbojohns 3 ball shift knob, I went on a search for something similar - beware, all pool ball shift knobs are not created equal. The one that I ended up buying from ebay was very good though, fit well, good quality materials and metal threads, only $20.
Here is a link to the thread where you can find a link to buy one if interested:
