Is anyone producing a correct woodgrain shiftknob for 68-69 hurst shifters?
All I keep finding are the old repros that are way too dark in color.

I thought bea parts was planning to make this part a while back?





We were going to, I wasn't successful in finding a really good original to copy from. The current supplier of these re-released them so I shelved the idea.

Even if I could find a decent original example, I'm not sure the market could support them. However, I am a glutten for pain, if I had one I would make them.




I was one of the guys Mike was talking to about the loan of a NOS woodgrain shifter knob about two years ago, but I was unable to locate the box it it is stored in. The NOS shifter knob is stored with other small NOS items in a small box for use when my A4 Hemi RR finally gets its turn at being restored.

In the last few days I have began looking for the NOS knob again, but I have no idea how long it will take for me to locate it. If I can locate it relatively soon, I will loan it to Mike as long as I get it back undamaged... I may try to get a friend over this weekend to help me search for it.

Does anyone have a black shifter knob out there??




I also have a NOS black knob (it may even be a new aftermarket piece), also stored away in some box, but I have pictures of it that I took several years ago. The knob was in an unmarked envelope in a box of NS1 NOS parts that I bought from a dealership, and I do not know what the correct application is... anyone know from the pics below?

Anyone know if this one's for a specific Mopar or just a generic vintage piece?
