    WTB: shift knobs original 901 4 speed and 915 5 Speed

    Looking for original knobs - 901 4spd for a 68 912 with the reverse up and to the left.

    *** Found this Then a 915 5spd with reverse down and to the right. This one needs to be fairly nice.

    Looking for Bakelite originals.

    EDIT: just noticed you need a 4 speed.

    You can be sure the plastic is not Bakelite. The first generation shift knob I saw direct from PCNA a few years ago had a center piece that was not perfectly centered. Maybe they fixed this by now.

    Here's the Stoddard up-charge of the Porsche Classic item for the 4-speed knob. Caveat emptor.
