DAW Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have a blue one around somewhere, but I'd like to find a black one, something that bolts on without any rethreading, etc. Has to be cheap (or I'll continue to use the antique glass doorknob that the PO installed). DAW Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Antique glass doorknob!? That's so ratsun. Mine is glued on (previous owner). Sorry can't help. I tried looking for something different but no luck. Link to comment

izzo Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 i saw a dogleg 5 speed shift knob somewhere but it was expensive. I need 2 of them also. Might have to just go custom or something :\ Link to comment
hang_510 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 i saw a dogleg 5 speed shift knob somewhere but it was expensive. i saw an NOS sell over $100 on ebay. Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I have one for a dogleg 4 spd. I think its off a vdub. Link to comment
DAW Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I need 5-spd dog-leg. For $100 I could probably have the pattern laser-etched into the glass doorknob... I know the pattern, but if someone else drives the car I want to know that they know the pattern. My VW has the pattern on the ashtray, maybe I could get a sticker for the dash that would serve the purpose. DAW Link to comment
DAW Posted May 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 OK, does anyone know of other cars (other than Datsuns) that use a dog-leg five speed? I know the Maserati Biturbo uses one and the wood knobs with pattern on them are nice but pricey. Any others? DAW Link to comment
DAW Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Problem solved: I bought a wooden Maserati Biturbo shiftknob off of Ebay for $30 something, shipped. DAW Link to comment
