Markb55 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hi all, I just wondered if anyone knew where I could get a larger gear knob gaiter and the silver trim as I brought a different centre console with the arm rest and silver running down the centre but I didn't realise the trim around the gearstick was bigger. I have looked on eBay but don't really know what I'm looking for. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 You need one meant for a car after 2008 (facelift mk2). They are a bit rare for some reason and over £100 from Ford. Ideally you need one which is complete (knob, gaiter, base and chromed trim) as the knob clamps onto the gaiter unlike the pre-facelift kit which has the knob with a lower rim that the gaiter attaches to with an elastic collar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markb55 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks Stoney, your a legend :) managed to find a complete one on eBay for £25 this morning, only one so I grabbed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I've always been told the size doesn't matter... On this subject though, Stoney, do you know which gaiter I'd need for a facelift? And is it changeable without anything else? I tried eBay but there are hundreds on there! Mines a low miler for year so done a lot of gearchanges in its time and the back of the gaiter has cracked and split which is annoying when the rest of the interior is mint! I also don't want to buy a cheap replacement that won't fit right or won't last long really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'd look for a decent leather one. The gaiter is held onto a black clip ring (which hooks into the chrome bezel) with staples and the ring is a bit flimsy but with patience and a gentle hand you can pull the staples out and refit the gaiter with new ones. The knob is held onto the gaiter with a locking collet that needs levering off, judicious use of small screwdrivers and a spare pair of hands would help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
