I think it's about 1.8-1.9" diameter. Can anybody confirm this?

(1 more order for a price drop!)

Could you possibly do one in 10x1.5 thread for a honda? If so I'd almost definitely take a 2" white sti-style knob.

Yes, I can do the Honda size threading. I can make a 2" White Copolymer STi Sphere with M10x1.5 threads in the brass insert for you. Does this knob need the recess cut into the bottom of it for a reverse lockout ring? Also, please tell me how tall the threads are on your shift lever, a picture would work with a ruler being held up next to it showing the height of threads and the distance before the lever changes diameter. This custom order will cost an extra $5.00 though because it will not be on the same production run due to the different threads.
I'll PM you my email address.
I'll put you on the list for now, let me know if I should remove it later.

Titanium is not available. Sorry, its way too expensive and takes forever to cut. Only copolymer is available for this group buy, but I do have aluminum for a custom order.

For the WRX (5-spd) knob, how long is the shaft part? Looks kinda long when actually installed. Can you do like half that length without any problems?

For the WRX Collared knob, the plastic part of the shaft is 0.7" tall and the brass piece threads in 2.4" deep (overall length of knob is 3"). I can shorten the plastic shaft down to 0.4" and decrease the brass piece to 2.1" to still fit properly if you want.
Price will remain constant with the current group buy rate for this. Respond if you want me to add you to the list!

Sweet. Put me down for a black shorty WRX collared knob with 2 gooves on the bottom.

Sure, the grooves are a $3 option because they have to be done after the production run and the tooling has to be completely changed. I can provide the grooves on your white sphere, and Draklens WRX sphere. Check post #1 for your current group buy pricing on your orders.

pm returned.

Man, that guy has some sick seats

I love my LW shift knob. It's not quite as heavy as I'd like but still an improvement in feel over stock.

kaazuumaa · 07-21-2007, 09:38 AM

I want one, can you put me on the list for the copolymer STi sphere

**WC LATHE WERKS** · 07-21-2007, 09:53 AM

Kaaz is on the list.

Tim, you're the first ever with the white copolymer/brass shift knob!
