Default HEAVY KNOB REQUIRED!
I currently have a Riks crackle-black-finish aluminium knob: which I MUCH prefer to stock.
However, I would prefer something similarly short and bulbous BUT A LOT HEAVIER. (AND I've had to stuff the empty bit in the top of the inside of the Rick's knob with rubber to stop the knob buzzing/ringing slightly under acceleration - particularly in 4th..) I've had a quick trawl on the net but aren't seeing much. Any ideas please folks??
TIA
Mike

I used to have a Rick's titanium knob. Same design as the one pictured but MUCH heavier. I certainly never had any ringing problems with it.

I'm sure that would do the job.

a drop of thread lock will probably stop the buzzing, it did on mine.

Muz's knob is big and heavy

Actually Muz, I was wondering where you are, not seen you online for AGES!
