Shift knob question

[strube]

Is there a leather shift knob that has a set screw that works with short shifters? I have an aluminum one now and would prefer leather.

I could let you have one of these delrin ones for AU$80 insured/posted to your door (less than US$55.00 factoring in our incredibly shit exchange rate)
It's a grub screw design and should fit onto a standard diameter shaft (approx 13.96) Insert from McAdams autosport @ approx $10
More pics in my gallery.
not the appropriate forum for parts, my apologies

Depending on which SSK you have, you should be able to use any stock knob. There is a very nice illuminated suede M3 EVO3 knob that Don McAdams sells. Short shifters usually have a cut-out on the top, so that any factory BMW knob should work without a set screw. Stock BMW knobs are simply pushed onto the shifter rod, and a small bar inside them clicks into the cut-out on top of the shifter rod. Here is a photo of the Rogue SSK:

Thats exactly what mine looks like. Great!! I was think the stock one was threaded.
