CharlieBucket Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 i bought some nice shift knobs off a guy on craigslist. he says they are upgrades that where availible for z cars in the seventies. the one with the datsun logo will go on my b210 since its a dogleg 5, and i will use one 4 speed one on my truck until i upgrade to a 5 speed. looks like only the 5 speed knob was ever used, and they all came in the little boxes with a extra bolt that i dont understand. sorry for the bad pic but my camara has sucked lately, i dont know how to set it up i guess.

Skib Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 the extra bolt is most likely for clocking the knob Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 what is clocking the knob? Quote Link to comment
LeDevil Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Clocking the shift knob is where you put the bolt on first then twist on the knob. Once you have the name/numbers facing the way you want you tighten the bolt up against the bottom of the knob. Doing this will make sure it doesn't move and you end up with a crooked or upside down lettering. Quote Link to comment
agentalpha Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 You even decide to bail on the Datsun Knob, I'll trade my Grant steering wheel for it, and adapter. Check my build thread for pics... Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 i really like the the datsun knob, but thanks for the offer, to bad i dont have any wood grain to match. they have a nice polish. thanks for the tips on clocking it, now it will always be straight.
