I need to find a gear knob for my '73 MBG GT, since it is missing. I'm confused about all the different types advertised on Ebay and elsewhere.
Ideally I'd like one with the "R-1-2-3-4" shift pattern marked on it. Is that period-correct? What's the deal with thread pitch: are shift knobs earlier than '69 unsuitable for my car? Are there any horror stories regarding the walnut and vinyl knobs typically seen for sale on Ebay: are they good quality, or do they disintegrate after a few vigorous gear changes ?!
Thanks!
