IL TW/ Pool ball shift knobs - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Typecast · 08-27-2012, 11:23 PM

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.

Sounds like a cool idea they have some weight to them so i'm down to try one out. I call dibs on number 3.

mr.nismo. · 08-27-2012, 11:39 PM

Typecast · 08-27-2012, 11:46 PM

Sounds good guys. I will let you know when I get enough interested to get them going. I know I said half but I may make them after 5 or 6 people are in

Typecast · 08-29-2012, 01:25 AM

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.

1slowlance · 08-29-2012, 07:47 AM

Can I get the 13 instead?

Ryder14 · 08-29-2012, 08:56 AM

I will get a quote around and get back to you.

other news: I have ordered everything and hoping it all comes by friday but again I will send out pm's to everyone once I have them made and ready to go.

Yuda · 08-29-2012, 07:29 PM

Typecast · 08-30-2012, 02:08 PM

bump for some more

Typecast · 09-04-2012, 07:10 PM

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.

my1s14 · 09-04-2012, 07:49 PM

I call dibs on 11 ball!

15 is white with red striped blah to misspell before.

1slowlance · 09-05-2012, 03:23 AM

These things are going quick as a mug now. Can't wait to see the finished products.

Typecast · 09-05-2012, 04:01 AM

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.
