8 ball shift ****

Has anyone found an 8 ball shift **** for the MINI? I am looking for one that fits with little or no modification.

Chris

The one you can buy at autozone or advanced auto parts fits if you drill out the old threads and retap them. The threads are brass on those so it goes pretty quickly.

If your using a stock shifter, you going to need to tap the shaft itself too, but, its plastic and should go real fast.

His shift ***** are the best. I got the first pool ball one he did and love it. It is never hot in my hand in the summer here in AZ.

Wow!! Fabulous turn around on my order. I have been thinking about an 8 ball shift **** for Casper for over a year now but never really progressing to making it happen. Emailed Doug last week and it is in my hand today (in the car tomorrow).

Merry Christmas to me and Casper both. Thanks Doug.
