Is there not an autotechnica over there? they make a boss specifically for 300's, and is quite painless to fit (though i did have to wait a week longer for mine than expected after they sent me the wrong boss kit in the correct packaging...) and also they should match momo wheels with little hassle, there is an adaptor for it if u can't make ur own up (i didnt need to, my wheel is autotechnica as well)... i must ask, is there any nice gearknobs out there for 300's?

Yeah, nearly all fit.. Don't get a lift up reverse, as our lift up doesn't go in the knov, but most 'normal' ones fit after a very small amount of filing to the stick. I'm running a Simoni one... though Adam (340 GLT) has turned up an ali version of the 300 one.

Then i might have to go look at the gear knobs again, mine is pretty shot, obviously been excessively used, the gear knob is so loose it can be bumped off, the leather has separated from the core and the gear placard on top has come off. but yeah i'm aware that our car is reverse lift and what style knobs do work with it.

When it's done, GIL Racing's M47 shiftknob will be very nice indeed...at a price...
