NudeLobster Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Looking for some idea's to a good shift knob with good weight to throw on when I get a SS. I'm leaning toward a black leather and polished metal mix, to match a grant steering wheel I'm eying for down the road. But lets see what everyone has, and also note whether is a universal set screw type, or specific thread on type, and if so, what brand/thread? thanks! -justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTY Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Ive been using one of these for years... nice weight, stock look. And, it screws right onto a stock shifter. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200469553876&crlp=1_263602_263622&ff4=263602_263622&viewitem=&guid=c07a07551290a0e20317d127fd334aa7&rvr_id=&ua=WVI7&itemid=200469553876 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought 4 or 5 of those "universal" that have inserts for any type of thread. Those always seem to fall apart on me within a week or two.

Project83 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 It's a Hurst (Obviously lol) with the threaded inserts, seams to be holding up well had it in a different car before the Starion for a couple years. http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/uploads/1278209114/gallery_2003_614_3582.jpg Try and ignore the Naws floor mats, i do, they've ended up in about every car i've owned at some point until i get ones i want. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NudeLobster Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) hahahahahahahaahahha Roberto, come out to chicago and we'll see where we get I would keep my stock one but I want a little updated touch, with a better shape (don't like the rectangular top), and a some good looks. I laugh when I see those dildo shifters...There are guys on Stanceworks with actual shlong dildo knobs So evo/eclipse threads fit? That opens a lot of doors for me, I though they where different! -Justin edit:anyone know the specific thread pitch/size? I'm thinking of taking a real pool ball (idk which number/color yet), and tapping it for the shifter. It would have good weight, and a little unique. I'm thinking number 8 (black lol), number 4 (purple), number 2(blue), or number 5(orange) Edited July 12, 2010 by NudeLobster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project83 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I can't really remember but i think somebody told me you need to use a threaded insert or something similar when you drill a pool ball for a shift knob or it cracks pretty quick, not sure if it's the truth or not but that's what i've heard, and what i always wanted to do with my '69 F100.

dmyers151 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Here's mine. I got it on eBay last fall. It's a 2" spherical knob, CNC cut from Delrin polymer. It's awesome. I've gone thru probably 5 or 6 shift knobs trying to find the one I like the most, and finally found this one. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4076/4786547130_235f5da550_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4785910687_df498dd6b7_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 IIRC the threads are M10x1.25, might wanna double check on that before making a purchase though. ...and yes, they are the same thread pitch/diameter as an EVO/DSM. The knob I have is meant for an EVO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
