CUSTOM  RESTORATION LEATHER STEERING                                        WHEELS  by Alan Gun

PORSCHE SHIFTBOOTS /KNOBS 

       Porsche products are what we do best here at Custom Steering Wheels .If your Porschge came with a leather steering wheel ,shift boot , brake handle - we make it or have designed one for your Portsche  Although we have expanded to  other types of car products, we have always had the Porsche owners products first in mind in the matter of quality, pricing and service. 

All of our core knobs are based on the original patterns- we do make one size fits all knobs 

.Porsche 1966-86 - 914, 911,911SC, 911 carrera 

All 911 came with a long black metal stick shift between the seats, rising up from a rubber shift boot. Most metal stick shifts start to look ugly, and the paint peels off after several years. Our 911 shiftboot is a great way to cover up the shift and update it to a modern luxurious look. You can also purchase from us a one piece knob and boot unit that looks like a factory OEM fit.

1987 through 1989, Porsche changed the transmission to a better unit, called a "G-50". Along with this, the 911’s came with an original equipment leather knob the size of a golf ball. Beneath the Emblem that pops off, is a hex (Allen) screw which allows for easy removal. The leather on these were very thin and wear out quickly, especially lighter colors such as linen and camel.We  use thicker leather to avoid this problem. We also make a one piece unit knob and boot called the 959CARA which includes either a 4 speed or 5 speed emblem.
