Shifter Trim Plate Replacement
#41
Are these aluminium trim pieces still available?
I stumbled across one a few months back, but was working on a different project at the time so didn't buy then. Now I want to get one I can't find them anywhere. Sellers name listed above doesn't come up on e-bay search. The one I stumbled across a short while back was out of Canada I believe.
Any help would be much appreciated

J-Gate Shifter Plate Replacement...Trail has gone cold
I recently purchased an 2002 XK8 Coupe and I'm going through it to bring it up to scratch mechanically and cosmetically. The black plastic shifter face plate that immediately "guides" the selector and is marked in white "P", "D", 2-4 etc. is breaking up. I followed this tread with great anticipation but the polished metal aftermarket plates do not seem to be available any longer. As I'm sure anyone that has been here before will know, the parts houses sell the entire shift mechanism unit for around $400 (oh boy) and most of the used units I've run across in my month-long search are about $170 and either already cracking, or look scruffy and I really don't need the entire mechanism!
I'm pretty stumped. Anyone that has a decent one they can offer for sale or a suggestions or lead would be GREATLY appreciated?
Best Regards, Al

Don't give up on the guy from Canada on ebay. solar_signa is his seller name. I have been in touch with him over the winter and he only produces these plates during the summer months. He told me more would be available in June.

Found myself needing that plate and the guy wouldn't respond on ebay after weeks. Now he has an actual site. https://www.solarsigna.com/product/j...um-trim-plate/

Rather unfortunate, do you happen to have a link to someone selling the original face plate instead?
