In anticipation of not finding a leather GK replacement for my 20vt, what is the general consensus on the best choice aftermarket jobby? I've seen some pretty vulgar ones on the internet!

I had a Richbrook Emblem on my old plus which looked good. If you become a member you're entitled to 20% discount

I just fitted this one, from a grande punto :



I had to thread the top of the coupe gear lever shaft and use a little glue to secure it, but it looks good and the silver ring matches my dash strip.

Get it re trimmed?

Too a Richbrook! Love it. A bit of pain to get there tho.

I fitted a Richbrook Speed leather knob last week, keeping the lift up reverse. Made a How To too

I got mine re-trimmed from trim deluxe for £25.

Good guide! I should've done it before.
It's also possible to cut ca 10mm off the stick before attaching the knob mount.

Cheers

Yeah I did think about hacking a little off the top of the stick but didn't really feel comfortable using a hacksaw in a car. Knowing my luck id end up sawing the seat in half...
