I just want an original replacement of my 1979 Midget gearshift knob with all of the gear designations on it. I don't want a wood one with the MG logo, nor a leather one with MG in silver, nor green eggs and ham! I want one that reminds me that I have to pull up and go top right to get into reverse!!
Can anyone help? I called Moss and they have no idea. I called VB and she wasn't sure if the one in the catalog was the original look alike, but they do have "the wood one with the logo". Can someone help a brutha out??????? Also, anyone got any lightbulbs for a 1979 they are looking to part with or light fixtures?????

I think I sent the one I had to someone on this list. They needed a shifter and I sent them the knob as well (I think). Other than that... try the Spitfire group.
 
I found my original 66 sprite shift knob on ebay. Keep looking, it's out there somewhere.
 
Reverse is at top right? I have a wooden one with reverse at top left (I have a collection of knobs in a drawer, most of which I don't even remember what they belong to!) Is the one in the middle correct (R is up and left?)

difference between the 1275 tranny and the 1500 tranny. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/driving.gif I would be happy to send you mine no charge but not till I have one to replace it - how much of a hurry are you in? (as I sit here I'm 95% certain it has the gears marked)

I also found my 65 midget NOS one on ebay about 3 years ago, and even then i believe i paid about 70 bucks for it, but it was definately worth it, mint condition, keep looking you will find one!
