Got a classic Volkswagen Beetle, Bus, Thing, or Karmann Ghia sitting in your driveway? Well, you probably already know how tough it is to source factory-correct parts—especially when it comes to the interior.
And nowhere is that more evident than the shift knob. After miles and decades of use, old VW shift knobs tend to get nicked and scuffed, and any graphic embellishment often fades to the point it’s barely visible.
That’s when the VW experts at KaferLab beteiligen sie sich am gespräch…err…enter the chat.
KaferLab is already well-known to a lot of German car aficionados, but if you’re not familiar, the company specializes in OE-quality restoration parts for vintage VeeDubs. And these VW OE-style shift knobs are the perfect example.
Hand crafted to mimic the look of the originals, KaferLab offers dozens of different styles. From the iconic Wolfsburg logo to the traditional (and accurate) H-shift pattern, you’ll be able to finish your classic Transporter, Bug, Thing, or other VW restoration with an authentic look.
It’s also worth mentioning that they’ve got some slick-looking custom knobs that’ll look great in your VW-powered dune buggy or kit car too. They’re offered in several common shifter thread patterns and you’ve got options for aluminum and plastic knobs too.
All told, if you’re tired of reaching for that damaged, old, or missing shift knob, let the VW experts over at KaferLab set you up with a new one.
