Any idea on the pricing of these yet? I'd be interested in one like Sid's

Yes.
I've decided to offer them for $75.00 each, for either black or white Delrin, or brushed aluminum.

And of course, they all have my usual attachment mechanism, and will fit your stock shift lever perfectly.

I'll see about getting some info put on my website this week.

Engraving would be $15.00. Of course, it won't show up that well on either black or white Delrin.

As they say...it ain't over yet...

Doug's going to make me another experimental **** based on the first design but with a 50mm extension...this could very useful for people using SSK but want to bring the control back up to within reach...

PGT...I think it would be so cool to have a braille shift pattern machined to the ****...LOL...whataya think Doug?

Facing driver on the cylinder wall, six speed braille........just kiddin Doug...

Hey Sid. It was great meeting you yesterday. Your car is a masterpiece of artwork! The pictures really don't do it justice. They are all great teasers, but man I was aw-struck...I'm sure you could tell. That new *** is amazing as well and yet the next design is just as good looking.

Doug- I'll be calling you this week, I want an Aluminum one like Sid's.
Great work!

I always wanted a taller handle but with a ssk (near stock or a bit shorter throw but closer to the steering wheel) and it looks like that my be where this is heading.

Cheers, keep up the good work all!

Glad you like them...I should be getting mine for free at the "creative partner price" LOL...

If Doug's got time...I love to see him do this for me (and everyone else) too..."The Delrin Ugly Stick", a walking cane shaft that snaps into the ****'s QD mount...Brilliant!

Now THAT's badazz... You'd just need a nomex top hat and tails and you'd be ready for the Misfit Ball.

Sid, I thought you were going to recommend a rat-fink-esque long-throw shifter extension. This would be almost up to the roof line, and could come with another screw-in extension, which would send it through the sun roof.
Take it all apart, and you could use it as that bad-azz cane...

I hadn't thought of that...we could have Doug also make an "extention" shaft so you can have a Mini Fink!
