To our members,

Based on some initial inquiries, trying to see if additional folks would be interested in our ball shift knob.

May do a group buy and see if we can discount a little, but if anyone is interested please let me now.. and we will try to put something together..

Currently price is about 32 US before shipping..

Here are a few pics, installed on our porsche style shifter.

I just received my Shifter Knob. It is a nice piece of work. I purchased the 914 conversion kit from them and everyone has gone together very well. I had already converted my car to a hydralic clutch system, so I wanted to incorporate it with this 5 speed conversion. I just finished it last night. I am working on a tech article that I will post about the conversion and also what you will need to do to make it work with a hydralic clutch system.

You would not be disappointed with both the kit or the Shifter Knob. The kit makes everything look very professionally done, but saved a lot of time, since you don't have to make your own Front support, worry about welding a tranny nose cone shift rod straight, the improved shifter which also helps with the angle from the shifter to the shift rod, etc., the new nose cone and all the hardware to hook it up using the standard clutch cable. Workmanship is top notch.

My next one is going to be the 915 kit for my second car that is almost ready to start the suspension, tranny and engine.

Martin and Alex have it down, it really doesn't get much nicer or easier to do one.

Sorry, I just saw this thread. I would like to get one of the knobs, if you are still considering a group purchase.

Thanks,
