Hi Adam,

I bought this off Ash a while ago and never fitted it. You can have it for what I paid €25

Thats a nice knob! Ill probably take that off you, but do you know how to attach the gaiter to it? the kob on the car at the moment is horrible and the gaiter doesnt attach to it. anyone know how ths is done?

Sorry Adam. Haven't a clue

How many times has FabFive heard that compliment

Adam, from what I recall, the gaiter slips inside a ring-like device that threads onto the lower part of the gear-knob. When I changed the gear knob before I just used a small black cable-tie and pulled it tight on the gaiter as high up the shifter as possible

PS
Actually, looking at the picture, that "ring" assembly appears to be there at the lower end of the gear knob. HTH

John, did you ever consider writing a Jilly Cooper esqe novel??? You make knobs and garters sorry, gaiters go so well together.

That's 3 times now

Please let's not go as far as complimenting the "ring assembly" :-O
