Re: Gear lever knob

[Simon & Donna <sdaustin@shaw.ca>]

It may not be correct for purists (but then again the car isn't exactly 
stock looking anyway)  but I picked up a good-looking shifter knob at a 
local shop.  It comes with a set of generic plastic adapters that just slip 
over the shifter arm (arm doesn't need to be threaded itself). Different 
sizes of adapters for different thicknesses of arms.  The knob then threads 
onto the adapter you've selected.

I should still have the original SD1 knob (1980 vintage) that you can have 
if you want that look.  What does Rimmer Bros consider the "later ones" as I 
thought the SD1 was finished around 1982?

Cheers
Simon
