GMontag's Journal: Kewellest Gear Shift Knob EVER!

I was donated a 20MM Dummy Round (link for illustration purposes only). Now all I have to do is drill and tap! Well, I have to get all of the glued on crap, that I have on my gear shift lever right now, off. Otherwise I am set.

i'm still not getting it.

how exactly are you going to make a gear shift knob out of this? a bullet is sort of pointy and not very knobbish.

Re:i'm still not getting it.

Well, right now all I have on the gear shift is the 0.5" threaded steel sleve from the inside of a broken plastic gearshift.

This is fatter and smoother.

The idea is to get the old junk off, drill out the bullet nose, thread. If it will not take a thread I will drill it out a little more and glue the steel sleve inside, then screw it on.

TA-DA! Sooper kewell, K-RAD shift knob.

I hope you're mounting that sideways, to form a T shifter, not up and down. Grabbing for a quick shift (you do have a man's transmission, not a wussy automatic, right?) could get that round through the palm of your hand otherwise.

Going to be up and down, primer end up.

If the sloppy setup I have now has not gobe through my hand in six years or so this sure won't.

Yep, I have the guy tranny not the Leftist.
