Shifter Knobs - CNC Machined & custom

[MR 325]

I like that knob a lot, I think the clear anodized will look really good. I like the shift pattern as is and would not mind it bigger but I don't think you should change the shape of the shifter. I agree on cutting the pattern a little deeper though, that will be cool.

looks good, i didnt think it was such a "ball" on top from the other pics, but it looks good none the less, did you think abou my offer?

Sorry Dan, I retract my offer of the blem knob. I realize now that I made the hole too big in this one. It won't stay put perfectly on the shaft. I will try to repair it by pressing in a plug and machining it again, but there are no guarantees.

Your stainless part will still go out Monday though. I will put the blem one back up for sale if I can fix it to my satisfaction. Or, if anyone has some other car that has a .6004" (15.25mm) shaft, I'll sell it to them as is.

BTW, I just got in the set screws that I wanted- they are 4-40 and are locking type with a spot of nylon melted onto the side of them. They should stay put pretty well.

cool, thanks again man, let me know on monday!

I would be interested in a black shift knob with a cut for the stock shift pattern layouts.

Rob, thanks for prepaying...
I am driving the parts over to EPS (the anodizers) on thursday. I think that I will have enough of an idea as to customization that I can make a few stock variations of the parts. This means I will be able to ship everything at the beginning of next week. I hope this is not too much of a delay...

Thanks,
Chris

I am in for sure on the clear anodized one, just waiting for pics.

Can I send you a money order for it? PayPal sucks so I don't use it anymore.

[DanGillan]

any word on my knob that was supposed to go out today?

Yeah, I didn't get it finished until after UPS closed. Sorry, it'll go out tomorrow at a reasonable hour.

[DanGillan]

alright, please let me know, you the man, take it easy

I tried something new on your shifter:
I reamed the hole for the shift lever to 14mm exactly - it is almost airtight when the shifter slides over the lever. You can hear the pop when you pull it off. :) I think you'll be happy with it. Do you want the shift pattern or not? I think it looks sweet without it...

[chrisd]

This one's for you, Dan:


uh, damn autofocus. nice mixer, eh?

[royalflush313]

chrid, do you have any plans of making pedals or door sill strips, or any other accesories like that?

[DanGillan]

ugh, after seeing those pics im not sure if i want the pattern... hmm.... choices choices,

nah, I definately DO want the pattern. i wont be upset, sounds good with the hole, have you tested it on your lever? let me know when it goes out, thanks man, and btw.... do you know how heavy it is? thanks again,

I have indeed tested it on my car, I drove home with it last night. It feels pretty good, but there is no way I would want one that heavy. It is around 2 pounds. I would need to fix up my shifter linkage before going to anything near that.
