Does anyone have the specs for the 917 shift knobs? I am talking about the ones that were laminated wood.
I am looking for: What wood was used in the lamination What are the dimensions How was it attached. I know someone already makes these, and I could just buy one. However, I am interested in learning how to use a wood lathe and my grandfather is going to give me his and all his tooling for it. Instead of just turning eggs until I get the idea of what I am doing, I figured this would be a more useful project to start with. Zach |
