DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Many thanks to those who have paid. I'll be sending them Royal Mail Special Delivery tomorrow so you should receive them Tuesday.

This is the first one dry fitted. After opening the hole a little they are still an interference fit; http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z9/BrewsterTheBear/photo-1_zpsc820d2ea.jpg Looks and feels great. The original knob is 44.5mm in diameter and these are 48mm. The hole has been opened up to 18mm a...

Just an update. The holes on these are a fraction of a millimetre too small, so I have ordered a tool to open them out slightly. With a bit of luck they'll be ready to go by the end of the week. Nige, thanks for the kind offer. I'm looking to find out the diameter of the crush tube on the gearstick ...

So they've turned up and I have returned home; http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z9/BrewsterTheBear/photo_zps340d81cd.jpg They are all fantastic quality. Any variation in colour your seeing is light reflecting off the graining in the wood. I'm going to have a go at fitting tomorrow and I'll take so...

The list of interested people so far is; Roddavies grannysmith wysri9 Nick Moss x2 Tp81 Tony mrk silverfox Reza 40 scout carsten x2 sng45 sanjay x2 stwannabe 17 accounted for so far. I don't mind more names joining the list after the 18 are reserved as long as those people realise that I'll only be ...

Paypal won't be a problem. I don't have much of a margin in these at this price so I'll need to find out what their fees are and add them to the cost, but I can't imagine it'd bump it to more than £55 though.

I can't see there being any problem with the fit. I removed the original black gearknob and left the corrugated collar on the shaft. Using my vernier calipers I found the narrowest part of the ridges to be 17.5mm, which is what they've been turned out to. My plan is to use a little epoxy inside the ...

Thanks for the interest. That's potentially 9 reserved so far. 9 to go.

Thanks for the replies guys. Those who have expressed an interest will get first refusal. They have arrived at home, but I am still away with work. It looks like I'll be away for a while longer than thought now. I'll be able to update with better photos and information on a final test fit on the wee...

I don't have the dimension to hand and I'm away with work at the mo. They are pretty much the same size as the original gearknob though. I'll see if I can talk the girlfriend through using my vernier caliper over the phone....

I haven't posted much, although I browse the boards regularly so I hope this isn't out of order. I am a paid up member of the club though. Anyway, I've been searching for a while for a 917 style gearknob for my 911 SC in the UK, but couldn't turn up much on the internet. There's a site in the USA, b...

I've been reading the boards avidly and scouring the classifieds for useful parts and I've just joined the club for the year. I've just completed a brake rebuild including calipers, hoses, discs and pads. Next job is suspension bushes all round and a new, backdated exhaust. The loose plan is to use ...

Hello Chaps. Newbie to the board here from sunny North Lincolnshire. I've had a number of later aircooled 911s, but I'm back in an '82 911 SC coupé that I plan to <whisper it> backdate to an early 70's style car over the coming year. I have a good picture in my mind of what I want to achieve and I'm...
