<div dir="ltr">A early Jag XKE has a beautiful brass knob under the plastic coating that originally showed the shift pattern. Weighs about 7lbs but sure is pretty. </div>
<div dir="ltr">Start of the Kas Cup race at Watkins Glen 2008(?). Got a good second gear run up to the green flag. Picked up a few spots. Hit third and that nice brass knob broke right off, landed in my side of the tunnel, and I spent half the race trying to
keep it from going under the pedals. Finding a rolling ball while wearing a harness isn’t easy, but by about lap 5 I had tossed it into the passenger footwell. Still have it as a memento but have never used it since - just been using a big nut with a wrap
of duct tape ever since - safety you know…</div>
<div dir="ltr">I’ve heard of the Balsa wood knobs from the Porsche 917 being a weight savings but since you’ve got to buy a 917 to get a real one, I’m not sure the benefit. And probably not “vintage legal” for a TR anyway - but ask Henry M.</div>
