Vantage gearknob change to the DBS type questions?

[Rapid rental]

Hi all, any idea where I can get a decent priced gearknob, I looked online and was absolutely shocked at the prices being charged for one? Also is it a DIY type job to fit, any help much appreciated.

That looks very nice and certainly worth considering.

Or get the standard one retrimmed in alcantara

Its a simple DIY swap over, and takes about 30mins

This is what i did

Thanks for all the help on here, I now have a gearknob thanks to Mark.
Next question is what is the procedure to fit it, any ideas or pointers please?

Thats great many thanks for taking the time to give me a step by step guide, why the microfibre cloth though, is something likely to drop down?

Fantastic tip, many thanks.

Disaster, the insert has chipped when being removed by the polisher. We both thought it was plastic but its actually glass and stuck in with a really tough 3m type pad, which has also taken the shift pattern off the glass inset as well,as if the chip wasnt bad enough.

Any ideas where I can get one of these inserts please?
