I saw this as well. Madness. Shame all the good stuff on ebay goes to the more money than sense brigade.
Like the wooden steering wheel I bid on that went for £245, and it was used!

[QUOTE=CDTi;44221]These fit with a bit of alteration:

Cliff (teflon) this is what I have on my Handbrake (same seller, too, and I recognise a good few names as buyers in his feedback list!).

I think it was Keith who did a how-to to fit it. I cut a fraction too much off the length of mine, but I'm used to it now. Well worth £15 IMHO. Then you can buy gaiters to match the upholstery as suggested by Radi8or, and copied by me. See my avatar pic

Edit: must say tho on looking again at your pix the gaiters look as though they match. Mine were black leathercloth in a sandstone leather interior, so needed changing IMO.

There's another R75 walnut gearknob on ebay, currently at £4.99!!

Tom Collins · 2nd April 2007, 13:08

I'll keep an eye on that, but i bet it gets to £77 like the other on there.

Are these on ebay the same as this one from Xpart at £67?

Most of them are not the Genuine Article. Always ask the Question if you want Genuine OEM.
There is an exception and that is the people that actually made the things for MGR.
If you are going to spend that sort of money by the real thing from: http://www.mgroveraccessories.com/sh...nob/index.html
As you stated.

Only half an hour left. Just time to have a word with the bank manager, or do over a post office with a sawn off shooter.
