I'm about to order a gearknob from We are Likewise. I need to know which size adapter I need to order but don't have a coop here to check. There's a video guide (link below) for how to measure - can anyone tell me? Euro Adapter - Measure TutorialI've got a note saying I need 12mm but can't confirm where I got that information from 
F****** b****** thing...

Just so it's clear, I'm asking for the width of the brass coloured shaft the gearknob is fitted to. I found some good photos in this post

It says in that thread an M10 die was used to thread it, so presumably the shaft is 10mm. That's the metal shaft as used in later 20vt coupes, not sure about the earlier plastic ones.

I've sourced a slightly different gearknob, comes with an adaptor that goes on with grub screws, no need to thread the shaft. Think is was a Richbrook possibly, must check.
Always seem to have too many 20VT's to count......

Probably not to everyones taste, but very early on I won the bidding on here of the chrome knob/ handbrake cover and gear surround. Blingy right enough, but to me it looks the part. It’s part of the Coop extras. Joe had the bidding sale.A few years ago now.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

I had that chrome handbrake/gearknob set on my original coupe... looked quite nice but come the winter they were so cold to touch that I wished I'd left them standard.

I went ahead and placed an order for their Daytona Pro. The weight of this thing should help to improve the feel of the throw even more
