Looking for both plywood deckboards that go over the fuses and ecu's behind the seats. For some reason the previous owner cut the inner end off both of mine. I can make new ones but would prefer originals. Also need a shift knob and rear fascia. Thanks.

If you're not a stickler for originality DMOCO has some awesome stainless laser etched shift knobs.

The website has them listed at $105 but they pop up on ebay from time to time with a $.99 auction starting price. I got one last year for around $60 which is probably less than what a good condition original shift knob would go for. There is a version with the 5 speed shift pattern and one with just a DMC logo etched into it.

I really enjoy the feel of the aftermarket stainless knob due to the added weight...It gives you a more substantial feel when shifting between gears. I always thought the stock knob was poorly designed to have the injection mold seam right at the equator of the ball. There's that slight ridge between the two halves that made it feel cheap.

Anyway, just something to consider if you're not finding any nice stock ones out there.

My car had one like that when I sold it in 2005. However, when I bought it back this July it had a large gaudy knob with a missing emblem of some sort on top. To top that off the set screw was stripped and wouldn't come out - I had to remove the whole shifter assembly to put it in my drill press and drill it out. That ugly sucker is gone now. I will check out the DMOCO knobs.

Did everyone miss that DMCH had them reproduced:
