[alfa] Mid-80's Spider Gearshift Knob

["Tom O'Neil" <tomoneil41@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just an FYI to those of you who have a mid-80's Spider that has the cheesy 
plastic shift knob with fake woodgrain finish. I have turned the internet 
upside-down for two years trying to find a replacement (duh, they're all 
worn out just like mine) or a reasonably correct substitute. I finally ended 
up buying a brand new Momo long anatomico in zebrano wood finish, then sent 
it out to be laser engraved with the 5-speed shift pattern. The result is 
fantastico. The wood is a bit darker than the steering wheel (my '84 has the 
Hellebore wood wheel), but it still looks light-years better than the 
original. I used Laser Accents in Goshen, IN, to do the job. I have 
absolutely no connection with this company, but I found them via a Google 
search and got good vibes when I e-mailed their sales dept. They're at 
www.laseraccents.com.

Ciao
