Shifter Knobs - CNC Machined & custom

[GQ_Style]

Can I get in on this? I want a flat top one with the pattern. Let me know what I need to do. Thanks.

Thank you all for your interest. I will do another run of these in a few months when I need a turbo. :)

I may do another run sooner if there are 5-10 people interested. I had to pay more than expected for the anodizing, but it'll be worth it. I went to the best place in town, and stopped by 002 salvage on the way back for a door handle trim ring. I pick the shifters up in the morning, and maybe this time I can remember to bring the camera cable too!
Also, I will try to find a cheaper shipper - if I do, I will throw a couple dollars in with each of the ones that is already paid. I had a visit from the DHL rep yesterday, they ship cheap but insurance is expensive, and delivery conf. costs extra.

I have 2 projects next, I think: An alternator bracket with a tensioning bolt like a motorcycle chain tensioner instead of that stupid toothed bolt, and aluminum pedals. I'll start another thread when I have enough to show you all. (I think that I started this one a little prematurely)

Here are the finished knobs.

Hmm, no silver flat topped ones? Thats what I was going to buy.

I don't know how I managed to miss that, sorry. I thought that there was only 1 silver one and it was round. My apologies! If you want to wait a few more days I can put the flat on it...

Looks good, How durable is the anodized finish? Like if I wanted to remove the Anoizing where the shift letters are how hard would it be to do? Are you going to mail these out Monday? Can't wait to get it.

So did I end up with the silver round top or a black flat top...?

looks great chris, I can't wait!

I see mine. Looks sick! Can't wait to throw on the emblem. PM me on the total price, I know mine was a bit more due to the custom job.

I am just a moron, sorry. You can have a silver flat top one soon, I am going to make more over the next few days since I screwed up TJ's too.

i got my knob guys, and it is AWESOME! much better than i could have anticipated. u mite be wondering how i got mine so fast, and its b/c i live 20min away from chris's shop :D , hehe. the fit of the knob on the shift lever is perfect, and almost stays put without a set screw. the knob also sits about 1.5 inches lower than a stock knob. the flat top is SWEET, and the weight of the knob is 199g, or 7oz, its a really good weight. these are well worth the wait guys, u will all be happy with the end product. thanks chris, cant wait for the next custom product.
