Coloured Gear Knobs
I would like to get a red and yellow gear knob for the TD5, apart from Croytec does anybody else do them?
Might be silly but fancy a bit of colour amongst all the black in the cab

If I can avoid alloy it would be good

I have been thinking a long about some pool ball gear knobs, available from eBay, but in the end I decided to buy the Croytec knobs. Much more better!

Any more thoughts on this, can I spray colour the originals?
Would like to do it as a homage to my old Series, but still not sure

They do look nice, though I found when I had alloy gear knobs in my 110 for a few days it was horrible, it was ice cold for so so long! Only a little thing but worth thinking about Smile

You'll be needing one of these then

Would be good if you could get them in LR colours or even within the gears/diff lock diagram on.

This has always discussed me from buying alloy gear knobs. Would love a set of the leather covered ones but they are crazy hard to find these days.

Would just like a set with texture I think, not super slick through years of wear...

Maybe Pool ball knobs it is then Wink

If anyone wants old pool balls, we've got 100's at work (red/yellow and some blue)

they're resin, so will turn down on a lathe easily.
