Shifter Knobs - CNC Machined & custom

[UNHCLL]

Damn, you people are impatient.

Nice job Chris. Dont get to haggled by the "I WANT I WANT I WANT" attitudes. ;)

Yes there are 2 more black ones, both are blems. One has a TINY nick by the set screw (dash side) and the other has a very small (1/8 long) scratch on the passenger side. Both scratches occurred before ano. so they are filled in black and are almost unnoticable. I will sell these for $29 + shipping if you want them.

are they flat top / shift pattern? if so ill take the one with the nick by the set screw.

Anyways can't wait to get it and my shift emblem, should look sweet. Thanks again for doing all this, you're an asset to the E30 community!

I guess that UPS doesn't save tracking numbers on their site... I didn't write them down, I will try to track them by giving UPS a call in the morning. I want you all to be able to follow them to your doorstep...

Damn, mine is coming in on the 15th. Gayzorz.

By the way, I am about to start another batch, so there will be lots more soon. I changed the process a little, it'll use about .1" less material per sihfter, and the hole in the bottom gets drilled at the same time, so it'll be more reliably centered than on this batch. The off-center hole doesn't affect anything, it just looks better with it centered. The other change is that I will no longer offer round-topped shifters at all, since I can't get the round top while making the part from the other end. I'll take some pics of the process this time too.

Just got mine, this thing is absolutely sweet. pics/review after my 4pm class HERE

after looking at the pictures, the clear anodized round topped shifter looks the best (imo).

Anyways, are you planning on making any other products? Pedals, door sills, etc? I want to buy a knob from you, but I have a brand new knob rigth now, it's not a rush. If you are planning on making other things, I'd like to wait and buy it all at the same time.

I have one silver round-topped one I can ship you immediately, it looks exactly like Dan's but is Aluminum rather than stainless steel.

Door sills are going to be REALLY expensive, because they are large and need to be formed at a sheet metal shop, and anodizing costs are based largely on surface area. I would guess they would be somwhere on the order of 150-200 a pair. It can be done, it's just not fun. You would have just as good luck ordering stainless steel from mcmaster.com ana hammering it into shape. :)
Pedals are a much more realistic project. I will definitely make a few sets, and see how they go. It's impossible to compete with a $60 set off ebay though. I would guess that $80 would be my minimum. But they'll be nice! really! And I can put "I am an asshat" or some such for personalization. :)

chrisd, if you can make some nice set of pedals w/ deadpedal that fits our car good, I would not mind paying $80 for it.
