GT86 Manual Shifter Knob Construction
Hi All,
New here. Hoping someone knows the answer about the construction of the stock gear shifter knob. I want to get the stock one re-wrapped in new leather, and the plastic silver disk around the gear indicator face, and the base of the gear shifter, i wamt to make some replacement aluminium replacements. So 2 questions:

It is but it's a project. I've looked at at aftermarket, the one linked has the TRD tag punched into it which i dont psrsonally want. |
It’s all glued together.

Interesting... thanks for that. Do you know if the disk around the gear face is a separate piece? |

just in case you were mildly interested. Gear number plaque is removable from teh silver disk around it: https://i.ibb.co/QFkCzzX/image.png Back side of Gear indicator disk + Silver Ring: https://i.ibb.co/yRrpxyw/image.png So the Silver ring is actually just a round holder with the gear indicator plate nestled in it. The gear indicator disk is just taped / glued in place. So it is removable. |

So just an update on this project so far.
Got the shifter re-wraped in calve leather, with red stitching to match, the stock one results below: Got a skilled leather craftsman to re-wrap it in calves leather, he did a great job: https://i.ibb.co/jDKnrCC/0a37ea6e-21...d31e55eb93.jpg https://i.ibb.co/VN79Mvf/801dc6a5-76...bd759356eb.jpg https://i.ibb.co/mbhfF3K/5bad2491-ec...0c893f00-2.jpg https://i.ibb.co/1n6Dp1Q/14bc0312-60...d54da66449.jpg https://i.ibb.co/mRsfkBv/a19437fc-57...5ec87f8225.jpg https://i.ibb.co/gw6H52W/f046c875-55...c289bc433b.jpg Then got another guy who makes metal parts for a living: https://i.ibb.co/fXn9R5t/a0041ebd-7a...c85f68c6a4.jpg https://i.ibb.co/tqJyWn7/4872746f-f4...121ccd0a27.jpg Then he put the pieces together: https://i.ibb.co/Bn8PkfW/semi-final.jpg Now i just need to get it shipped back to me, and ill take a few more glamour shots. Think it came out well! |
Couple more updates to come. Had the bottom piece made too!

Below is it finished ready for fitting: https://i.ibb.co/v3JccyY/IMG-20200717-WA0001.jpg https://i.ibb.co/SKW9bjD/IMG-20200717-WA0002.jpg I will be getting the bottom cap anodized so it can match the existing faux metal bits in the car already but I will leave the top cap in its raw finished state as per the above post. Then Ill install it for the final shots. |

That looks fantastic!
Any chance your guy is willing to make more sets of those aluminum parts? I’d totally pay for a set! |

Without a doubt he would be. I've absorbed the cost of paying for the 3d design already so now it would just be a case of plugging the design in and clicking start. Im not based in the states but if that's not a deterrent then you can DM me and we can discuss. |
