Also a new oil pressure sensor and a door switch which hopefully stop my windows opening by themselves Quote Reply #721

I've also enabled the OBC with durametric, I don't have the stalk but this gives me temperature on the dash which is useful. While doing that I noticed there was an error code for the post cat O2 sensor, it had done a couple of very short runs moving in/out of the garage before hand, so I need to recheck that after it's had a decent run, which will be Monday.

I’ve been looking at the wooden gearknob for mine, there are a few suppliers, where did you get yours from? thanks Quote Reply #724

It's a BuiltByBasil ball and adaptor. It's a nicely designed piece of kit, but if you go for one be careful with the 3D printed insert, I snapped one of the fins off it when removing to change the shifter. To his credit Simon replaced FOC, great service. Quote Reply #725

Even after my gearbox rebuild it was still quite notchy so I then changed for a 997 GT3 shifter which is slightly shorter than standard (but longer than the Alex kit). Ideally I would like something between the 2. Mine is beech and walnut with a satin finish. I bought another knob/gaiter/frame combo from eBay to cut down as at some point I will refinish the grubby leather on the top of my original. Mine look about 5 weeks to arrived, apparently because the email with my spec went to junk, once I’d given him a nudge via a PayPal dispute I had it in about a week. Quote Reply #727

I've used mine for about 2000miles, and haven't noticed any marks from my 18k gold wedding ring. I don't think filling the engraving/shift pattern was an option when I purchased mine.

Very pleased with the result. Probably be putting up the 19s for sale shortly. Attached Image(s) Steve Andrews 1998 911/996 POR 911X Quote Reply #731
