These shift knobs are hand turned from exotic woods by Robin Casady. The knob attaches to your MINI Cooper or BMW manual transmission shift lever with one of Doug Whalen's stainless steel adapters (included). Adapters are available for both R56 and R53 MINIs, as well as manual shift BMWs.

Nanciton Knob #87

56mm dia. x 74mm
Nanciton (Hyeronima alchorneoides) is a member of the Euphorbiaceae family. It is a hard and dense wood that takes a high polish and makes an elegant shift knob. The color should go well with the MINI's English Oak.

This knob would make an excellent work-horse knob for competition, or a second knob for situations when you don't want to use your beautiful exotic wood knob. The height of this knob when installed is about the same as the OEM knob.

If you are buying this as a second knob you can save $50 by letting me know you don't need a second adapter. I'll refund the $50 from your order.

This knob was sanded with 1,500 grit silicon carbide paper and buffed to a high polish. Numerous coats of hand-rubbed Polyurethane were applied to seal the wood and protect it. The hand-rubbed method allows the finish to penetrate into the grain without leaving a plastic-looking coating over the surface.

Care: Typically, no special care is needed. Cleaning can usually be accomplished by rubbing with a soft cloth. If more aggressive methods are required, a damp cloth, or furniture cleaner can be used.
