Are there Union Jack shift ***** available for the Mini? Is the shaft thread pretty universal where an old Mini **** would fit?

Oooohhh...that sounds nifty. Can someone post a picture or something? I'd like to see what that looks like - to try and make my MINI even more unique. Well, once I GET it

I made up a desktop of this and hope to have it in the downloads section later today. Let me know what you all think.

Yes - post it when you can. For me, an 8-ball **** all the way. It will be hard as the Mini **** is quite big, unlike the Sola shift **** in my Miata.



I think the Mini **** just pops off - I read soemwhere that it does not have a threaded collar like most *****.



http://www.mooneyes.com has some cool *****.

A friend of mine was doing some body work to a 1960's Mini, and it had a little Union Jack ****. I think it would look great in a new one!

Check out the desktop images of the Union Jack shift **** that Sfiveten added to the Downloads area. There are 1024x768 and 800x600 versions called 6-Speed Union Jack. Enjoy!

Thanks Sfiveten!

Thanks, BluePotato, for the link to Mooneyes.com!

I am going to order the Tiki god shift **** once my Mini arrives. He will keep the Tiki god on my dash company. I'll post pictures then.

Now there's something I'd buy... a high quality, glossy globe shifter covered in the UJ, the same size and fit as the OEM shifter! Do a red/white/blue version and a black/white/silver version. Are you listening sponsors?

The nicest shift ***** I've found are at http://www.flameball.com
This guy makes beautiful shift ***** for all makes and models. I have an ivory skull in my PT Cruiser and it ROCKS! If you want something truly different, try this site. Several of the ***** can be wired to light up at night. Happy Hunting! :smile:
