SVT shift knobs-Who wants something different? - The Ford Focus Forum

**FORDSVTPARTS** · 06-19-2008, 10:30 AM

Here we go, I got tired of freezing the palm of my hand every winter and burning it in the summer and I finally found what I believe is a good alternative.

These knobs are from the U.K. and come out of the Mondeo, They're leather wrapped and have the proper 6-speed pattern on them.

They are also nice and chunky and much more substantial than the SVT knob and from what a local ST owner told me they're even chunkier than the U.S. spec ST knob.

This knob also shortens the height of the shifter which I thought was a nice bonus.

Heres the one I have on my SVT now, Mine is on an FRPP short throw lever,

This is the red version, on a stock SVT lever,

Heres a height comparison,

If I do this it would run "about" $65.00 for the knobs, I don't have a 100% rock solid price yet.

Post up if you're interested, I'm only doing this if enough people want them.

Please shoot me a PM with name, phone number and color if you want one so I can get a list going.

I'm thinking around 4-5 of each, something like that. With stuff this size getting more can help cover the shipping.

I'll probably order as many as people want, I just want to give a little time to see what happens.

**Aguilar** · 06-19-2008, 03:32 PM

Interested. You have PM.

**Hayden** · 06-19-2008, 06:32 PM

I'd probebly get the black one.

**zx3r_type** · 06-19-2008, 09:26 PM

I am interested in a red stiched one

**FORDSVTPARTS** · 06-20-2008, 10:26 AM

Allright, I've got you all on the list. Obviously that doesn't mean you're 100% obligated to buy but I will plane on ordering one for you.

I'll be in contact.

Red stitching looks good with blue.

Not quite yet, I want to give a few more days for word to spread and I'll place an order.

**tgnorman** · 06-24-2008, 02:25 AM

Any chance you can get your hands on an ST220 knob with the aluminum trim? If not, mark me down for a black one.
