Reply to "What do OEM Pantera gear shift knobs look like - are replacements available?"

Some Pantera vendors have reconditioned or maybe new ones in stock; dunno what's underneath and you shouldn't care either. Eons ago, PI magazine published an article about recovering one at home in leather or leatherette, with a pattern in the article. If you're handy, find the copy, cut out the pattern on the material of choice and glue it on but don't use blast-proof adhesive, in case the result isn't what you'd like! Because of the tight curves needed to fit closely to the plastic insert, the weight/thickness of the covering is critical (which is also a factor in its operating life). And if there's a street-rod upholstering shop in your area, take the old knob (with the stock covering on it) and ask them how much to do the job.
