A early Jag XKE has a beautiful brass knob under the plastic coating that or=
iginally showed the shift pattern. Weighs about 7lbs but sure is pretty.=20
Start of the Kas Cup race at Watkins Glen 2008(?). Got a good second gear ru=
n up to the green flag. Picked up a few spots. Hit third and that nice brass=
knob broke right off, landed in my side of the tunnel, and I spent half the=
race trying to keep it from going under the pedals. Finding a rolling ball=
while wearing a harness isn=E2=80=99t easy, but by about lap 5 I had tossed=
it into the passenger footwell. Still have it as a memento but have never u=
sed it since - just been using a big nut with a wrap of duct tape ever since=
- safety you know=E2=80=A6
I=E2=80=99ve heard of the Balsa wood knobs from the Porsche 917 being a weig=
ht savings but since you=E2=80=99ve got to buy a 917 to get a real one, I=E2=
=80=99m not sure the benefit. And probably not =E2=80=9Cvintage legal=E2=80=9D=
for a TR anyway - but ask Henry M.
