Donzi walnut shifter knobs are almost ready!!

[Scott Pearson]

OK everyone. Cliff and I went into a venture together recently and here is what we have. I know many of you have been wanting the original Donzi walnut shifter knobs with either the early (propeller) or late (lion over dolphin) insignias. Well, I'm pleased to announce that we have them both!

They will be ready in about six to eight more weeks.


A little about the knobs. These things are absolutely beautiful! They are exact in every way to the originals but built to last.

A few things that we did better:

#1. The Donzi Marine insert is Cloisonne (melted glass) over solid brass and then 24K gold plated. The original ones were only Hard enamel over brass. The Cloisonne is UV resistant.

#2. The knob itself is still walnut but has been coated with a 2 part Polyurethane with a UV inhibitor. The original ones were coated in clear lacquer.

#3. The threaded inserts that are being used - they are all stainless! The original ones were pot metal.

Like I said - they are beautiful and built to last!

We are taking orders now. The price for each complete knob including a stainless jamb nut is $100.00 plus $10.00 shipping. The shipping price includes a properly packaged item and full insurance.

Like I said - They will be ready to ship in about six to eight weeks. So place your orders now. Once we run out, I don't know when we will make them again. Please leave a post here so we know who you are and what style you want.


Thanks!

As the containers fall

[BERTRAM BOY]

Hey guys...

Do us a favor... We are going to keep a spreadsheet to figure how many we are going to need to have of each insignia. If you say you want one, please state which one you are interested in.

Thanks.

[CDMA]

Cliff I want 1.5 of the propeller and 1.5 of the Lion and Dolphin....hope this clears things up.

[GEOO]

Put me down for one. Lion. Thanks

[abbe]

can you do a white ball with the lion?

[Scott Pearson]

If you have a nice white knob I'm sure we can do something. It will have to be large enough to fit the insert. I'm sure we could do something.

I'd like to put the morse stuff back in my 67 and I'd definately need a propeller knob to match the rest if the stuff. Biskit

[Morgan's Cloud]

If I ever finish the St Tropez this would be a nice touch...I believe the prop logo would be most appropriate for a '66 huh ?
BTW... I have the standard Morse top mount single lever binnacle control which has'nt been re-designed for years...is this the same thread size as the original Donzi side mount control ?

[Morgan's Cloud]

THANKS MP...

That confirms it... One prop logo !

[David Ochs]

Scott, I would like to have the NOS shifter, provided you still have it. Also, one of the beautiful wood knobs with the prop logo. I e-mailed you a couple weeks ago on this.
Thanks, Dave O.

[Scott Pearson]

Dave,
You have mail.

[Dredgeking]

i want one. it looks like i need a lion to be correct on the '76. i changed my mind again.

[penbroke]

You guys beat me to my winter project. :( Care to sell an insert or two? wink

Frank
The propeller logo is the only one for a true "classic" boat. eek!

[BERTRAM BOY]

Ski Blu and Frank,
Scott and I have decided that we are not going to sell components of these shifter knobs. Just the complete knob.
We MAY however, and I do stress the word "may" make some semi-custom knobs in the future. Maybe some exotic woods, but it get's too time consuming and cost prohibitive to make a different knob for everyone.
BERTRAM BOY :D :D :D

[Dredgeking]

what years are appropriate for which knobs?

i have a '76. is a lion or a prop correct? i want the correct knob for my year.

[Bob]

My 1971 Hornet has the lion- dolphin.

[terry]

Hey guys, just curious can I buy the threaded metal bottom insert to insatll my original knob?
I also still want one of the propellor logo knobs when they are ready.........any guess on a time frame??
