Gear Shift Knob

The gear knob was from a V8. Faint outline of the letters V & 8 were visible. It was also cracked. I'd acquired a nice knob a couple of years ago. It was easy little job to remove the old one, buff the thread, add a spot of antiseize and fit the replacement. A locknut keeps it secure.

Old vs the replacement. Look carefully at the one on left. There is a V & 8 superimposed on the top face. Probably from a c1930's Ford V8.
