Sign me up for a 2" STI black sphere knob with brass insert.
I'll try to keep in touch. Just got home from 395 hours at work. If you don't hear from me you'll know why.

The white material will not really stain unless you rub grime or oil on it. It can be cleaned quite easily by rubbing acetone or isopropyl alcohol on it with a rag.

I am thinking about getting a 2.0" STi knob here but I am wondering how the material holds up against solvents and such.

I am in the Air Force and use a lot of chemicals to include aliphatic naptha and MEK which tends to get on my hands and it transferred over to shift knob no matter how much I clean my hands. I see this as the clear coat that is on my Impul titanium knob is deteriorating because of the residual chemicals.

I hate it and I don't want to buy you knob and have the chemicals damage it. Hopefully you can answer this one for me as I know it is out there a bit.

"t3h f4stAr": You are on the list.

"MadMan77": The full material name is called Acetal Copolymer. There is some data available about its resistance to chemicals. I found this info for you:

"MATERIALS TO AVOID: STRONG ACIDS AND OXIDIZING AGENTS." and McMaster-Carr quotes it as having "excellent chemical resistance". Im not sure of the solvents you use at work, so I cannot give a definite answer if they will damage this material or not. It wouldn't be difficult for me to take the knob and re-cut a new layer off of it if the outer surface gets really decayed after a year or so. I could turn off like 0.01" if it gets bad...

**WESTI** · 07-19-2007, 06:26 PM

how big is the stock shift knob?
