I am getting ready to make my own shift knob out of a pool ball, and I figured just buy a whole set and make all 16 balls into knobs. Just seeing if anyone else would be interested in having one. I am figuring $25 shipped in the states. I just want the 4 ball so pm me or just comment on here. Once half are accounted for I will make them. Payment will be taken after I make them, to insure i don't mess them up after having your money. The plan is to just drill and tap out to the standard m10x1.25, if you have something else just let me know. If enough people are interested I can always get a couple sets and make more than just the one offs.

!!! DISCLAIMER !!! Do not wrench the shit out of them. If you strip it out it's your own fault.

Ok I have enough to start. Hopefully I can get a set of balls here in town to save on shipping time. As soon as I can get them done I will let everyone know. And I will be making all of them if anyone else wants one.

I figured I should probably give you guys an update. All the balls have been drilled out and are ready to tap. My tap ad die set should be coming tomorrow via FedEx and as soon as I get it I will start tapping. After I do a test fit I will post some pics and as long as it goes smooth I shoul have them ready by tomorrow night.

The true red ones are spoken for the 3 and the 11. But the burgundy/darker red 240s sort of match the 7 and 15. Sort of a maroonish color. I can't upload a pic from my phone but if you google it you can see it. I will try and get a pic up around noon my time of the difference.

Ok they are finally done and I have test fit them. I will send everyone a PM to get there address and such.

!!!Disclaimer!!!! If you wrench the shit of them and strip them its on you, you have been warned.

With that said I have cranked on them pretty good and nothing has happened yet. You may have to fiddle with where you start the threads so the number lines up right, it took me about 3 tries to figure it out.
Also they are bigger toward the base so they should slip over the threads about a half inch before you start to screw.

These are the darker marron-ish red the 7 is in the light the 15 I covered so you can see a little better

That's just a stock shifter? And I like the way they look. Not like normal pool balls, a little different. Can't wait.

This is an advertiser type post since you are making them for customers and did not actually have them in your possession for sale when you first created the thread. Should be at least a group buy.
