CUSTOM  RESTORATION LEATHER STEERING                                        WHEELS  by Alan Gun

:

 

Custom Steering wheels  was the first company to realize that the knob and boot units of the 944 series wear out on a regular basis. We developed a kit to retrofit over the original knobs for all model years and core  gearknob/boot that fits as OEM in all factory colors leathers. The kit you install is approximately 40 minutes which involves some minor gluing. The complete unit installs in seconds.

Leather kit only Kits/Requiring Assemble:

:These kits are made for  944, 968, reusing OEM  knob- your knob .

 

924SB - Boot only, all years 924. 1987-88 924S , All years 944/968 for use with oe or any aftermarket knob. $44.95

The use of any aftermarket type knob that tightens on with hex screws do not fit at well on these cars. The shift on these cars are not round like most cars. It is  flat rectangular aluminum shift that fit tightly  with the original knob or the  knob we manufacture . Our core knob has  the same look and feel of the OEM knob. The only difference between the OEM and CRLSW  knob is that we have updated it to late 968 , 911 Carrera specs. i.e. No more metal clips or rubber grommets to wear away. Regardless of year 944 the knobs slide fits tightly in seconds like the newest  Porsches.

Please note:
Porsche mixed and matched these auto knobs and possibly previous owners did also. We have  has also noticed 944 and 928’s with their auto knob leather with leather amd or  boot cut off. Some of you may think your car just never came with it. It is possible  a previous owner removed it. This way you can restore it to original specification. There is no such thing as a Porsche auto knob not covered in leather from the factory except for early 924/944.
