There's nothing wrong with the OEM knob but I wanted to try something new, and I've always liked round ‘ball’ style knobs so I had a few in mind. It was a toss up between the Blox 490 non-chrome in a neo finish and this, the Garage Defend ARC Style Round T.i knob in a matte finish.





I went with the Garage Defend because it’s simple since it doesn’t have a BLOX logo on the top. It’s 2” in diameter and weighs 202 grams, a little less than the ~240 grams that an OEM AP2 knob weighs, but I didn't notice much difference shifting gears. I also like the fact that it’s slightly counter-sunk and it feels perfect in the palm of my hand.





Here’s a link to their eBay page

Those of you who like a shiny knob don’t worry, they make a gloss finish too.

Thanks for reading.

 

Perfect!!! this is the type of nob I have been looking for, but I didn't want to get Blox!! thanks

 

whats the cost on this one??? are the threads in the knob itself or a plastic insert piece like the stupid arc knob?

 

Thanks! It's quite a nice knob.

It cost me $70 with shipping since I'm in Canada, I'm sure it'll be less for state side residents. Click on the ebay link and you'll find out. The knob has a brass insert.
