Gear lever knob

Thanks for the correction - yes, its the same as the spare tyre clamps. You won't get one from a hardware store, but I was able to get them from a fastener place in Dubbo, so you should be able to find them. Failing that, any tool supplier should be able to order in a tap.

Thanks for all the assistance offered above.

I have managed to find a supplier of the correct knobs and have ordered a few so I'll have some spares.

Can I ask what you paid? Last ones I saw were pretty pricey. I don't really need one, but the gear positions are wearing so they are pretty faint.

I can get them locally for $70 + freight.

I purchased 2 for $70 including freight.

Funnily enough, I was outbid on eBay last week - my maximum bid stopped at $38 and the sale went to $45 - for 1

And, yes, it still appears pretty pricey but...

I am trying to make the interior look good again.

The dash panel has been completely repainted and the instruments have been re-furbished. I am currently purchasing all new switches and switch labels to replace them all as most of them are a bit unreliable now after many years of neglect and whatever...

The steering wheel and steering wheel centre have been replaced/redone.

The vent actuators have been touched up, so to speak...

The Tex indicator stalk has been refurbished - including a new rubber wheel.

Pedal pads for clutch, brake and accelerator ready to go in.

All panels, including seat box have been scrubbed down and repainted...

I want to climb in and know that it looks good, I feel good and everything works. And I don't want to do it again ;)

On my S1, I chased the figures with an Arlec engraver and then repainted them; it turned out quite well,

Very, very few Series Landrovers ever had pedal pads, and I have never seen one on an accelerator in over fifty years of driving them!
