Here are some pics of the 2 current knobs … Taller version(Billyclub) is about 4-1/2 to 5 inches… Ball style with extention, 2inch ball… Thread pitch is 10x1.5 can be done in other threads aswell… All are made from Aluminum will be making steel version soon, Some are handmade others on a CNC’ed . all drawn up by hand no CAD involved yet…

Made one for the hell of it… People showed interest, so i made a few more… i was bring the meaning to myself “Built not bought” im currently working on new projects for a hatch im dearly searching for (EG hatch). im not settling for just anything… so expect to see more parts being made in the near future…

reason for the extention so it would sit higher… you dont want a short shifter when road racing… the higher the better. makes for quick shifting… circuit hero makes a ball knob.you can by a extention piece or you can skip that and buy a fastline performance shifter which run 200$… pretty much my knobs are a in between option and cost effective for what im planning on doing … one i have in the middle of the sandblasted picture is also a new one made only one for now…
