saph leather gear knob??
need a new gear knob for the saph is there anyone wou sells them? or is it a case of just getting a good second hand one, also could anyone tell me the fini code for one cheers 
There are hard to come by as I have been looking for the same thing for a while, I see 4x4 ones turn up but not 2WD, even tried the common RS breakers (NYRS) to no avail.
Haven't even tried Ford as I am pretty sure it would be NLA.

The black centre ones are NLA and when they turn up new they fetch around £200!!!
You can get colour coded centres and transfer the black centre over - it needs to be prised off and has a lot of glue behind. As long as you only scratch the clack paint (and not the lettering) it can be easily touched up before refitting.
These colour coded ones turn up at shows and rs auction has them on ebay once in a while. Usually just under £40.

If its a 2wd one your after,then good luck,very hard to find in good condition! I was fed up of searching so in the end purchased a very worn one with the original black insert,and then purchased an escort gti one,which are the same other than a silver insert rather thn black,and their more readily available.Removed the black insert from the sierra gear knob and the silver one from the escort gear knob and glued the black insert on the escort one,mint ger knob for a tenner!
