SO, here is my solution again with a further detail and the stick in 1. gear. So with pretty much space in direction to the dash. The logo is not exact the right colour scheme but only pros will notice it.
I have it from Holden for 11,20 incl the logo

and it suits the cockpit in my view very well

It charmes also the palm
Something like the Cortinastyle is also made in leather. I have this kind of knob in my M100.

But for the Excel I wanted something more solid.
Thanks for your advises
