Shift knob redo?

[Mark40]

Anyone have a recommendation for someone to recover an original shift knob?

Thanks.

Google Chris Scow. He did both my steering wheel, E brake handle and shift knob. His work is the best and his prices are very fair

Replacements can be had for cheap and expensive. I got one off Amazon for my E36 for around $15, leather, that is full OK or better. Knock off, obviously. Not stunning, but good. FWIW.

Reason I did mine is I wanted them done with red baseball stitching..There are no additions for color or stitching requested

Yes, I have one of those and it neither feels right or looks right. My car only has 80K miles so I would like to keep more original. That is why I asked what I did.

x2 on Chris Scow: He did my M-Tech I steering wheel and parking brake handle cover and they came out fantastic.
He did quote me on redo'ing my original shift knob (the 'mushroom' version) and while the price was acceptable, I ultimately went with a wooden knob for now. I'm sure his work would have been every bit as good as the wheel and may still send him the knob. The challenges for the knob's are the stitching and shape (more so for the mushroom knob). He has to work with thinner leather and smaller thread for the stitching to make the seams as tight as possible. This is why so many of the cheap ones off ebay aren't as good

His initial communication can be a bit sketchy and he prefers to talk by phone. Once we did connect, his communication throughout the process was excellent.

Well no go with Chris. He would take on the knob if I had a steering wheel to do as well. He does not want to do just a knob.


Any other suggestions?

Thanks..

Find someone wanting a wheel done and work out a deal with Chris to do both. Post a wanted ad for your quarry

Well, I spoke to soon. After a few mesages, Chris has changed his mind and I am sending my knob to him today.

Thanks for the replies.
