I had a wooden gear change knob for Daisy but in the heat, it split and didn't look nice. Amazon browsing for some sound deadening pads for Daisy's boot led me to gear knobs. I couldn't find a wooden one, so went for one with red stitching to match the gaiter.   Amazon £13.99 before 5% discount. Came with various adapters for different screw fittings, suffice to say the one that was for the Mazda gear change lever was too short, but the three grub screws went in far enough to grip the metalwork.

Looks good Jeff 👍 I hope it doesn’t work loose. I seem to recall from years ago people saying that the universal ones with grub screws don’t stay on 😧

I could always cut the top off the adapter and screw it down further to get the grub screws to bite into the plastic, but I was in the car and the hack saw was in the shed - hence the way I fitted it  . Those grub screws are in tight - if they work loose, I will relook at the fitting.

This is the one I have in the MK1 and I had similar in the MK3.  But it gets very gold to use in the winter so I had this made (picture shows fitted to the MK3) 
Although with changing the car recently I seemed to have lost it. I'll have to see if my sister-in-law will knit me another one
