Home made shift knob

[Hal]

I wanted something heavier.

Cost of materials, about $3.00 at the scrap yard

looks good.. metal ones get to hot down here where i live, but since your in CO then you dont have to worry.. are u going to make some and sell them?

Wow, A little to big, but I like the idea! As long as it isn't inappropriate we are good...

 

[Hal]

It looks bigger than it is, it's 52mm in diameter.

I won't be making any to sell.

That looks really nice. Gives me ideas.

 

[Gamble97]

Nice as usual Hal!!

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Looks good.

 

[empie1]

Impressive. Wouldn't want to grab that thing in the summer though!

 

[Spyder FX]

Impressive as always Hal.

And I have a metal knob, and a windshield cover and dark tint go a long ways to prevent the knob from getting too hot. So does parking in the garage for that matter.

 

[cartz-snopro]

looks great, i have a metal/leather momo knob and the heat isnt that bad its the cold in the winter that sucks

 

[Arnie]

Just saying for those people who say it gets hot during summer, why not remove it before you get off the car? ;D

Also that looks sick! If you would of made those for sale I would of bought one! ):

Good job though! Came out great!

I've got a metal ball identical to that in my 3g and the metal greddy counterweight in the talon, even down in AZ it never got hot enough to bother me.

I was just thinking of throwing some 2" bar stock on the lather and making a new knob similar to that. Looks good.

 

[Arnie]

Also people could put a rag over it so it wouldn't burn there hand just throwing ideas out there! I still want his Shift knob it looks epic hahaha

 

[Lofty]

Bet that shifts awesome.


Light shifters suck to shift with, heavy=win.

Nice work!

 

[turboglenn]

nice job, would you mind sharing with methe typ of ball turner you use on your lathe? the one i made sucked ass but it was built by the plans, looking tobuild a nice replacement

as for "hot shift knobs" just throw a liquid to air intercooler on it

You just slide one of these over and no problem! Amazon.com: Universal Sock iSock Gray Beanie Cap / Sock for Apple iPod Nano, Photo, Video, Microsoft Zune or MP3 Players, Universal fit manufactured by Insten available from eForCity: MP3 Players & Accessories

The shift knob looks great! What does that thing weigh in at?
