What about something like this.....
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RICHBROOK-VAUXHALL-GEAR-KNOB-ALUMINIUM-5-6-SPEED-/300582887231?_trksid=p4340.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D1365534781777243234%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D1%26#ht_2168wt_1199
Or the 6 speed "slant" gearknob from here looks decent......

Have you tried a few guys over on Mig that break Vauxhalls like Turbo Chris or Nemesis?? Im sure Nemesis had a few of the late type 6 speed gearknobs for sale.

a skull with lights on it....
Seriously now.... why does it have to have 6 gears? Just fit one that has good weight and feeling and trust your instinct and memory that you have 6 gears
I think our new box just has a white plastic ball (a white 8 ball type thing)

i didnt say it did? i said there is no point having a 5 speed knob. but anyway, yeah, that white thing is probably like what im after. if you could get a picture?

the only thing is i have a 6 speed gearbox so it would look a little silly without having the additional gear pictured.

I had one of these in my Astra. Good size and reasonably priced from memory. Had a 6 speed insert too

wtf are you on about? you're so paranoid.
knob warmers have been around for ages. a lot of puma owners seemed to have them because of the polished metal gear knobs that got really cold in winter.
too much weed has fried your mind.
