I have four 917-style wooden shift knobs that a friend made as a little project. They're approx 43mm across, same as the factory knob, and come unvarnished / un-oiled. They are hewn from a lovely, pure block of wood billet by a CNC machine, so they are perfectly round. They're gorgeous
£35 posted.

Jamie,

I don't think there is - I read the factory ones are clouted onto the shaft with a mallet and held in place with a crimp. You can't get it off unless it has worked itself loose over time.
Mine is on a factory short-shift kit, which includes a new shifter.
