Thread: Puma Gear Knob Fixed

What sort of seat covers you got there?

I could say nice nob, but others will think things, so I'll say well done instead.

I've heard that before, and thanks ....

Seat covers are Melvill & Moon and worth every cent.

Makes a world of difference to the shift quality.

Sies man, that looks horrible

An interesting comment; it reads that the modification is not to your taste cosmetically. Although that's not the reason it was installed.

I doubt anyone would deem the original plastic fantastic Ford creation a work of art, but apparently you prefer it to Italian style. Unless of course you have something else installed, so please enlighten us all.

Chill mate, I was being facetious

TBH, a shiny knob is not exactly stylish compared to the Croytech stuff.

Your humour knows no bounds.

And you've also missed the point. Croytech knobs are screw on and don't fit.

Which raises the question: How does the SVX alloy gear knob attach to the plastic sleeve?

Yes, that went through my mind too. Don't know the answer but under the rubber is dense polyethylene. I suspect the SVX may be an alloy cap rather than a solid knob.
