"Sailman?" Why, I oughta.....

Yup - I have one of Garm's black delrin shifter-knobs,. and had to make a spacer since the 07 and 09 shafts are different...

Wouldn't take much to "slim down" a delrin knob, and turn a woodie to glue over it.

True, its crazy money just to ship it over, stupid government rules. Thanks will be interesting to see what price they give you!

The USPS has some rather vague and bureaucratic information about the UK and Northern Ireland postal policy. The list of prohibited and restricted items for Ireland is much sillier, but doesn't really specify anything about gifts.

My other option was to root for one from a scrapyard somewhere. Even ebay has crazy prices up for the knob.
