Paul,

Sounds like a good opportunity to buy a new, blingy one.   All the vendors 
sell them, but they are different from one another.   After looking at and 
handling four different version from four different vendors lately, I find that I 
prefer the one from Hall; it is machined to accept a round De Tomaso logo 
(actually the logo from the stock shift knob) which is a nice touch.   The others 
are engraved with the logo but it doesn't look quite as good IMHO.

Check E-bay, as Tara from Hall Pantera routinely sells products there.   Be a 
smart shopper though; you would be *amazed* at how many people will bid and 
bid and actually pay more for the item through E-bay than they would if they 
ordered the part directly!

Mike
