Is that how you hold your knob to shift? I shift with my hand on top of the knob.

Looks nice tho.....

you could make a lot of of money selling them as something other than gearnobs! :D Love the one with holes in it

My next project is to do the one with holes in but either with brass all the way through or black nylon??

That one with the hole in the top would lend itself to a nos button:) :)

Nice stuff, just watch for radius edges and the IVA bods unless it goes on afterwards like everything else....:D

I like them, get a buffing wheel on a bench grinder with some polishing compound and they will come up like a mirror

Recently made a few myself, ended up going for a perfect sphere for my car as a little bit of weight makes the change feel nicer
