Shift Knob GB#5 - Aluminum Sphere *BLACK ANODIZED* - Page 4

**Alex** · 01-10-2008, 06:47 AM

You could always use automotive grade paint to fill the grooves, let it try for a few minutes and use some thinner to remove the excess.

The black alum. knobs are great. They're a near perfect weight

The only downside I can think of is that they do not bounce nearly as well as Chris' copolymer knobs

Before you ask...yes, one of them rolled off the desk in the shop last week and well you get the idea

it actually bounced? I never tried, I actually care about my work!

Alex, I might have you engrave for me in the future!

slvrsti, your shiftknob is shipping today

**Alex** · 01-11-2008, 02:40 PM

The engraving looks KILLER, its absolutely stellar on the white knobs with black paint. It is even sexier on the alum knobs

And yes, after I realized that it bounces Ive been demoing it to everyone (and no, it is not a customer knob)

Can you machine the gear numbers and shift pattern on the knob like this?

My buddy Alex has access to a laser engraver, so I might be able to offer knobs with shift patterns soon. The only issue is making the knob tighten up on the car in the right position so the engraving is not upside down or crooked. As soon as this is solved, I will be able to offer engravings for additional cost.

Anyone interested in an engraving, please PM me. This group buy is being offered for the plain knobs right now

**Alex** · 01-13-2008, 09:38 PM

Is that a shift knob pictured or a paper weight? I was over at a friends and I remember seeing something similar on his desk.

NO! If you pay right now at the current price, I will ship the knob you want the same or next day (depending on time of receival).

I'll PM my paypal info tomorrow, I think the prices have settled

coat the threads in RTV sealer (as a thick, thread locker). once the knob is as tight as it can get yet still lined up right, let it set for 24 hours for the RTV to cure.

but then you can never remove the knob. That would cause problems if you ever had to remove the console or change the lever
