Hi Gang,
Planning ahead for the springtime delivery of my Classica. I do woodturning for a hobby, and for my last manual transmission vehicle I turned a homemade gear shift knob. It was a simple threaded fitment of the knob to the top of the gear shift lever. Is that the case for the new 124 Spiders? I saw plenty of options for sale for old cars, but I really couldn't find anything that verifies the mounting of the knob to the lever in the new cars.
Has anyone installed a new gear shift knob (or made one yourself)? If so, is it threaded, and do you recall the thread diameter and pitch? (Assuming metric.) Any problems removing the factory shifter knob?
Thanks,
Steve.
