Looking for a "donor" wooden shift knob - preferably one with messed up wood

Post by SonicAdventure »

I wanted to try an experiment of attaching of my old seat leather to a wooden shift knob from a P80 shifter. If anyone has on that is pretty messed up as far as the wood is concerned, let me know. They are only a few bucks at the scrap yard but very hard to find a "wooden" one. I don't care if all the wood is peeled or cracked as I'm going to scrape it all off anyway. Thanks
