I managed to find some spare time to make a few more shift knobs. I didn't make the spheres, but instead simply cored out the hole and installed a "time-sert" fitting. All are shown on my Chevelle.

This one I made for one of my employees. His good buddy goes rock crawling, and so he thinks this craggy look will go well on his rig.

How do you gear it in reverse, don't you have any safety button to lift? Adrian

Well, these are on my 1970 Chevelle, and so there are no safeties for reverse (it is simply all the way left and up for reverse). They wouldn't work with any manual trans that has a safety button (at least not without some serious work).

A friend takes those spheres and turns them into handles for his kitchen cabinets.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
