Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes non-spherical shift knobs for the 07 and up exige?

I've had my car about a year now and can't understand why they all seem to be spherical. Personally I'm not a an of the feel or the look. The closest I've come is the knob below which is offered by elise-parts.com. However this knob is for the k-series models.

Tried doing a search but couldn't find a definitive answer; Does anyone know the thread pitch for a 2006 Exige?

thanks

I made a custom delrin knob as I too was not a fan of spherical knobs. After some quick measurements, it's the perfect height relative to the steering wheel and the OD of the knob is perfect for my small asian hands.

Never mind the knob I think I'm in love with your steering wheel lol. Seriously tho glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like the spherical ones. Nice work!

07 Exige is M12 x 1.5

Bobby are you sure? I found several websites that have it listed like this:

Lotus Elise™ - 2005 to Jan. 2009: 10mm x 1.50
Lotus Elise™ - after Jan. 2009: 12mm x 1.50

Lotus Exige™ - 2005 to Jan. 2009: 10mm x 1.50
Lotus Exige™ - after Jan. 2009: 12mm x 1.50

How about this?

This is an old LotusSport knob originally for one of the GP edition cars (I think). It is 12mmx1.50, but I resized it to the appropriate 10mmx1.50 for my 06 Elise by installing a helicoil insert. I would have to search my receipts for the part number if you're interested.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. :clap:

Let me dig through my crap and I'll get a part number for you-that doesn't mean it's still available but, a part number all the same. I should be able to scare it up tomorrow evening when I get home-I'll post it for you.

Mine sort of has a "stars war" vibe to it.
