Help wanted - SEQ/Nth.NSW VRX manual owners please!

Hi All!

Not sure if anyone can help me, but I'm after "a bit of a dodgy favour..."


I recently got hold of a gear knob from a VRX as part of an upgrade to my povvo-pack ES, but unfortunately the leather has started to come off:

I really can't afford to buy a new replacement knob, so was hoping a ClubCJ member with a VRX with the same knob could do a temporary swap and drive mine in when their next service is due and score a free-fix for me...!


Doesn't hurt to ask!

*peace*


Cheers!

That's not the base model gear knob. It's a Mitsu factory upgraded accessory.

Also you might consider getting it retrimmed if no one here can help you, it's only a small surface area hopefully would be easy and cheap to do

@Marus: - that would explain why no-one's got one...

@Akram: - probably be more than the knob's worth to re trim it...

THe knob that was damaged is the upgraded accessorie. The standard VRX knob is the full leather one.
