Dime Dave Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 FutoFab announces a new line of high quality, engraved shift knobs with a 5 speed shift pattern. These are NOT a one size fits all application, but made with the correct thread size to fit early Datsun/Nissan gearboxes. These are custom manufactured in the US to our specifications and are very close in size/shape to the original factory knobs at 1 5/8" OD x 2 1/8" tall. Our shift knobs come with a permanently installed brass insert with the correct M8x1.25 thread and a jamb nut to lock the knob in the proper position. They are made of a hard durable plastic (same as used in bowling balls) with a high gloss finish that will last for years. Both black and white color knobs are available in the standard 5 speed and dogleg 5 speed shift patterns. We also offer standard 5 speed pattern knobs in a limited number of custom colors (Yellow, Red, Blue, Dark Green and even a Hot Pink). FutoFab’s Datsun Community price is $39/ea (selling for $45 on eBay). Shipping for one or multiple knobs via USPS Priority Mail is $5 in the US (Canada, add $12). Payments can be made by money order or PayPal to futofab@gsinet.net The engraved pattern will last for years, unlike the silk screen process that eventually wears off. The yellow and white knobs have black engraving, all other colors use white engraving. Side view of the knob. Shaped and sized very closely to the original Datsun shift knob. Each knob comes with a permanently installed M8x1.25 thread brass insert and jamb nut to fit the early Datsun/Nissan shift levers. Link to comment

Dime Dave Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Dave - why are you working and not at the Runoffs? I need to work so I can be there in 2013 with a freshly built FP Datsun 510. You should get that 510 racecar of yours back together and join me. Link to comment
