I have bought a leather gear knob off ebay and cant see how it is supposed to fit onto the lever.
Has anybody else fitted one of these please?

I bought a leather gaiter on ebay. It fitted on the 944 fairly easily and looks the part. Takes time to get it neat around the top but worth it.
Ebay seller - topgaitor £14.99

It won't. Those kind of universal knobs are for traditional round rod gearlevers-I very much doubt you will make it fit a Porsche "blade" type.

I d agree with John, there was one "fitted" on the 2.7 when I got it, vibrated like mad, horrible noise and fell of several times on the drive home - glad I had a spare in the garage!
