O.K, someone suggested we could pool our resources & post lists of any spares we'd be willing to pass on to other forum members. I haven't had time to root through my lockup yet, but I've just collected a new gearknob for my trike from Saddlebags. I use snooker balls. They're 2 inches diameter, which is a nice comfortable size to use with gloved hands, & obviously come in a variety of colours. I bought a whole set a couple of years ago cos it was the cheapest way to get one & they're slowly getting used up on various projects -Flap's got 2 in his Landrover. Saddlebags has drilled & tapped them all to 5/16" Whitworth, (standard Reliant gearstick thread). Most of the colours have been used now. I want the black for myself & will keep the white for some future project. SkaMan might use the blue. So anyone need a red, brown or pink ball? This idea will only work if we can trust each other -if we find our bits appearing on Ebay after we've given them for free we'll be round to confiscate your balls.  |

I'm off to bed now, but PM me your address, (I'm sure I've got it but it'll save me hunting for it), & I'll put one in the post.

It arrived this morning, thx Andy.
He didn't try to get it through the letterbox he had other large packages so had to knock anyway.
