Re: cool shift knob ideas

Heres one we made out of a 5hp briggs lawn mower piston. My dad brought it to work and CNC engraved the 4wd shift pattern in it.

Re: cool shift knob ideas

Seems like I saw someone on here had a picture of a floor shifter where he'd used a big combination wrench-- like 2-inch or bigger. He had the box end sticking up to grab hold of. Looked pretty cool.
