Hi all wanting to confirm that 73 XU1 shift knob is the plain grain type per Rare Spares GK 1007 unit and not a shinny plain black one, I need to buy one and want to get it right.
Thanks

Hi Chris

 

Plain black grained. No disrespect directed at Rares, but the grain pattern is not 100 % correct.

 

Cheers

Hi

 

Mine is well worn, but the mold line is still visible.

 

Cheers
