Wood shifter knob - C&G Woodcraft

That looks really nice.

Very nice! 

That is one very nice knob.

Did you match the wood with your Lempert wheel?  If so, how?

Bob,

Gary was willing to match the knob to the wheel if he had the wheel, or a material finish sample to work from.  

Fortunately, for my wheels- the Lempert Nardi and an original flat Darrington, Gary had two knobs in stock that were near perfect matches (after reviewing some high quiality pictures and material samples under white fluorescent light).  And true to his recommendation, the match was perfect, down to the tone of the Maple inlay.

He has a large inventory of already manufactured knobs for the multiple OEMs who used vintage wood wheels... though he was  working on a big project and trying to navigate around the big snow storm, he was very willing to work with me either to find the best match or make one to work for my car.

give him a ring... He was very easy to work with.

they look/feel great and are very comfortable size for shifting these cars.

PS- been following the thread on your new IM6 build. sounds AWESOME!! Can't wait to see some pictures of the finished project.

cheers,

Luis

Thanks, Luis

I've always had wooden shift knobs in my British sports cars, and may see how one will look in my new Intermeccanica.

As for finished pictures, I can't wait either!  Due sometime this summer.

Cheers, and thanks.
