Would any of you guys be interested in a snookerball gearknob? I have managed to blag a set of 1.5" snooker balls and have drilled and tapped a few out for gearknobs. I can drill and tap them with any thread or can put a rubber insert in them so they are a somewhat universal fitment. They make awsome little gearknobs! (the blue and pink are allredy tapped out with an M10 thread to fit fords but id sell if you expecialy wanted those colours!) Ive also brought a few 2" 8-balls to do and was going to put them on Ebay but you guys have first dibs I was thinking £5 for a snookerball and £10 for an 8-Ball Sound Good? You lot are my guinney pigs for this!  |

They are bigger, more desirable, fetch alot more money than any other type (last one went for £26 on ebay!) and most of all ive attualy had to buy the balls to make them out of so need to recoup some more money to make it pay  |

Hmm what are the blue ones like? snooker doesnt have numbers does it, cant imagine what shade it is but could be interested in one for my (powder?) blue sierra...

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Slater, could you do me a red ball. Ta. I'll have to measure the thread in the morning, but it's on a Ford 2000E 'box with a stock stick. Not sure what balls you have left but anything with a 6 or a 9 will be cool too. Preferably a red/white stripe ball with a 6 on it, but that's probably asking too much lol
