FuntimePhil cause i can like the look of it, doesnt have to be a physical look, i'll rephrase: I like the sound/idea/concept of one of these.

thanks i'll look around, although heard the TRD one is smoother so will see if there are any of those still around.

Anyone know if Dave from ****** is still about?

Ok, that makes sense. I thought you may mean just the knob!

Opinions are split on the TRD one, I have had some tell me they prefer it, and some that do not. It may be smoother, but this one has a very satisfying click/thud feeling to it, as it pops in and out of gear, which I really like.

However, I believe it may be a case of 'beggars can't be choosers', as you may well have difficulty sourcing either of these. I highly recommend it though.

I am not sure if Dave Swearword is still operating even? His site is live, but has not been updated in a long time. I was told he threatened legal action against the club if any forum member said a bad word about any of his products! He was pretty chummy with the admins at LOC and possibly that goes some way to explain his hatred of all thing OCJ?

I meant to say, but forgot - Ebay may well be your best bet, although it may take a while for one to pop up, and regular searching to ensure you see it when it does!

Grahm goode racing had some B&M ones a while ago, may be an option just dropping them an email as they were just excess stck i think and were around £100 i think.

Yeah, second hand. Looks in good condition though. Don't think the guy I bought it off realised it was TRD. Big Grin

Stav, I'd be interested as to your opinions Re: B&M vs TRD. I presume you must have tried the TRD at some point? Can I assume you prefer the B&M? (As otherwise, knowing you, I'd expect you would have changed for a TRD!)
