Custom Shifter Handle

I though of this a while back and finally decided to make one and see if I liked it or not. Havent made up my mind yet, what do you think?

Re: Custom Shifter Handle

Re: Custom Shifter Handle

It kind of looks like some brass knuckles to me...so not my style. But like antscrd said...to each their own.

Re: Custom Shifter Handle

I'll have to pass on that, standing it on end is a better idea...

Re: Custom Shifter Handle

Slept on it and decided that I like the standard ball shifter I had. I had a B&M hammer shifter on it about 10yrs ago and got sick of it and took it off (thats when I had this idea). I tried to do it like a pistol grip but there wasnt enough material to drill and tap and it wound up breaking. I bought another pair and machined and welded in the center section and drilled and tapped it to lay flat. Oh well, dont ever know if you dont ever try
