Installed a new Shift Knob in Tanabanana's GT500.... got it from SPEEDDAWG.com

[Grabber]

I ordered my wife Tana a new shift knob for her GT500 from https://www.speeddawg.com/ and it arrived yesterday. The phone number over there is (866) 906-7801. I ordered mine over the phone from Chris. He was very helpful and kept me informed of the production status and shipping and the tracking number. The ball we had made was a custom color and not something they stock. They can make you any color combo and have hundreds of knobs to choose from. We chose the new “racing series” because the stripes are the same ones that are on the bottom of the doors on a GT500. The quality is very good !

Cost
Knob $69.95
Adapter (12mm x 1.25) $0.00
Boot retainer that is threaded 12mm x 1.25 $23.95
Shipping $6.95
Total: $100.85

Installation
Gently pull down leather boot from existing knob and turn factory knob left to screw it off.

The stripes on the knob match the stripes on the lower side of the GT500.

Looks good Rob,
Is there a choice on the stripe pattern?
The stripes on the knob you installed matches the Super Snake. Do they have stripes that match the stock GT500?

Alan, yes they do ...check out the link from the first post (https://www.speeddawg.com/) for pics
