The Fulvia 3 gearstick knob is not quite as wide in circumference as a Beta S1 wood knob.
See photo of each next to their chrome sticks. The fastening thread is the same for both.
Some 124 Spiders may have a wood knob of similar dimensions, but the colour is usually more 'blonde' than the proper S1 Beta.

Give me some sizes/materials/thread, I can look into getting some made. Very easy to replicate.

Here you go Andy (from David Jowsey's original Series 1 Beta) the original Stradale part:

(I'll find the thread size, I have a stick here)

Thanks Chris. Any idea what wood the original was made from, and what the threaded insert was turned from? Does anyone have an original that we could borrow to get them bang on??

The wood has very little grain figure.
I'd say it was a mahogany.
Maybe Sapele.
Lime would be an alternative and probably cheaper.
