Well after searching about every web site and parts store around I finally found out I can’t use any of the so called universal top button style shifter knob.  I did fine a guy that makes some really nice custom wood knobs, but waaay too rich for my budget and he ONLY make them for screw on style standard shifters 3,4,5,6 speeds.  Sooooo I decided to make my own…

Using the old T handle as a model, I didn’t want to use the parts from it (I may have to got back to it sometime).  I started with a piece of birch I found while on a hike, a few pieces of copper tubing left over from a plumming repair, a 1″ belt sander and about ???? hours of sanding, cutting, filing, drilling etc.  I didn’t plan out the shape it’s just how the piece of wood came out.   Now remember guys I am a driver for Fed Ex, not a machinist or cabinet maker, so some of this may look well, a little crude.  Theres about 10 pictures starting with the stock T to the almost done knob.   If I can figure out how to put all of them on here.  If not they will be in my gallery.
