Title: 365 Gearbox Shift Pattern Gearknob....
Post by: TCs Euro on Thursday,October 27, 2022, 02:14:30 PM: Hi all,

Does anyone in the UK have a Twin cam Special with a 365 box and a gearknob with the 5sp shift pattern embossed into the top of it...?

I am looking to make one for my car as a bit of a winter project. Photos or even better a mold taken from it would be great...

Cheers for now.

I second that - but I am away from my workshop and cannot 100% confirm - somebody must be able to though
