Custom Made Shift Knobs By: FMS :)

[330CubeGt]

Over the past month i have gathered the tools required to make shift knobs out of just about anything.

One of the more popular shift knobs are genuine high quality resin based billiard balls at a light 6 oz. and 2.25" in diameter there the perfect fit for your hand, Smaller resin based knobs sell for $40 Shipped.

I was thinking about making these to make a few extra bucks At $20-30 Bucks SHIPPED Depending on Color or Number etc etc etc.

Knob would include a Hex head 19mm Stainless Steel Jam Nut, used to lock the ball it place just like any after market knob.


Im looking for feedback as to what you guys think about the two pictured below, Don't mind the dirt on the knob i didn't bother cleaning them after i installed them.

Different. Better than bubble shifters.

 

[mygreengt]

[sleepn_sn95]

I like it. I'd want mine either 8-ball or engraved, i'd definitely buy one for $20

If the price is that low I am sure you would sell plenty... It would peak my interest for sure

Is there any way you can engrave the shift pattern onto the top?Or any other small pattern, scull, heart, smiley face, initials, etc?

Dark Red 2 1/4"

Thats a good idea, and i was thinking about laying a shift pattern decal on there or somthing similar im not sure if i would be any good with engraving but if i did give it a shot it would in turn make the knobs costly for you guys. But on the same token maybe some would be willing to pay more for somthing extra... Somthing ill have to think about.

 

[330CubeGt]

Thinking like $21 SHIPPED that will cover Knob, Jam Nut, Padded Envelope, Shipping cost and PayPal 3% Fee...

For most knobs, the ones that cost me more will be listed for more. But only by a few bucks.

Have to double check on shipping prices but i want to keep it as cheap as i can.

Jermey- me and my buddy at work are running them now to see how we like it and another buddy with much larger hands is going to try out the larger 2 3/8.

When i get the Jig set up and i try to do a batch of them maybe ill hook up with you since your so close, and you can try one out and possibly post up your feedback Either Possitive or Neggitive on SN95 forums and let people know what you think about the size etc in your own hand, and let me know if you think there worth the $20! Sound good?

 

[miss2slocoupe]

if you can put the shift numbers in it with white ill be your first customer

 

[330CubeGt]

Im looking into Engraving and possibly doing 5 and 6 speed Shift patterns engraved. White balls with engraved part painted black and the black knobs with the engraved part in White etc etc etc.. In the mean time im going to do some research and hopefully get the ball rolling on this sooner then later

 

[sleepn_sn95]

I might be interested in an orange one. Any pictures of what the colors look like? $21 is a great deal!

 

[AlbinoGorilla]

that was a shot sir lol straight throught the heart

Eh? Do you have one?

 

[framda]

You might be able to get an engraver to do it cheaper than setting yourself up to do it

 

[g36 monkey]

I'll be more than happy. lets do a black one

If you could do a number 13 pool ball, I think that ones the stripped orange one?, I would absolutely buy one!! I've been looking for a shift knob like this, you could make my dream com true! haha seriously though, I will buy one if you can do it. Don't want a shift pattern or anything like that though. If you could do it, can you make wear the number 13 and stripe is at the top? I am definitely interested in one!
