Retro Shift Knob

**SOLD**

Cherry wood shift knob I made awhile back. It has a very "old-school" look and feel to it. Works great and should fit any manual Tacoma.

I'm taking my truck back to stock so figured might as well get some $$ for it.

$30 - PayPal accepted

 

$30 shipped?

 

Where did you get the emblem? I'm thinking of doing something similar.

 

Ah I thought you were making these didn't realize it was a one off...seems like the guys in the 2nd gen section already claimed it. If you ever decide to make more, let me know

 

Got it on ebay - search Toyota "lapel pin" or "jacket pin" - there are some other cool ones, too.

I snipped off the pin on the back so it was just the round jewel part. I bought the wood shift knob on etsy (though its easy enough to make one if you have access to a lathe) and then epoxied the guts/threads from an old OEM Subaru shift knob on the inside.

The whole thing probably ran about $60 and worked great.

 

Thanks,

I'm planning on hand shaping a bit of local alder, or spruce, boring a hole and using epoxy to secure the correct nut for the threads inside. Then using a silicon molding kit to make an epoxy copy of the plastic bit that holds the boot to the knob.

The Subaru guts is a solid tip.

 

I ordered this on ebay looks about same size

 

how comfortable is the knob?
