Default Pics of home made Shift *****

Watched my dad make one before with some tools we got at home so I figured I tried making some as well.



This picture below shows where my neutral position is with my B&M Short Shifter


The **** below actually makes shifter feel a bit firmer.




Just wondering but which style do you guys like best?
Also what other kind of designs are out there that's do-able

I like them all, but if I had to choose one I would choose the black ball. It is the cleanest one, and the cleanest color too. Make me one please!! ;}

I made the ***** from some blocks of metal (my dad calls it something in Chinese but I dont know the english translation) my dad bought to make his own *****. It seems like the blocks used to make the ***** are quite pricey, around 20 or so. Also, the ***** up close have tiny stratches here and there. This fact with the relatively high price will make you guys rather buy a type R knockoff off ebay as it'll cost around the same.

Wouldn't mind selling them cheap if I go hunt around for bargains for the metal

a bench grinder, a tool that holds something down (dunno the name of it) and a drill that goes through metal.

Do you just use a lathe to make them?

And since you danced around the question...how much exactly do you want for one? I really like that gold tear-drop shaped one.

not quite sure what a lathe is. Tools I used are in the picture except the drill


After closely inspecting the ****, there aren't a few stratches but A LOT of tiny stratches all over the **** which is why I cant put a price on it (considering the block costs around 20 already and shipping would be at least 5).
