How to replace the gear knob of the Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini Mark2 - Years 1967-1970
Part: Shift knob

Today we will explain how to replace the gear knob on a vintage Mini Cooper vehicle. Vintage knobs can be purchased online on second-hand item resale sites. Performing the replacement is a very simple and quick operation that does not require any tools. We get into the car and turn the old knob counterclockwise to unscrew it from the gear mechanism. Once the old knob is removed, we insert the new one and turn it clockwise to screw it onto the gear mechanism. After completing this operation, we start the car and test the functioning of the gearbox by engaging the various gears.

How to Install an Additional Horn on a Fiat Punto

It may happen that the original horn starts to produce a sound that is noticeably underwhelming; at this point, you can decide to install a pair of sounders connected in parallel with the original one to achieve a more assertive sound. The installation is very easy, but it is important to direct the sound output towards an air intake, so you need to shape a support bracket to fix it to the slam panel with a single bolt. Once secured, take the positive power from the fuse box using a 2.5 mm² cable, tapping into the purple wire directly under the relay while connecting the ground directly to the negative terminal of the battery.
