Odd question: Shift knob
Pharmboy, You just opened the floodgates of possibility......what about a 44 cal cylinder??? I didn't find any cut frames but I'm not sure what category they're under.
Fishbreath, The logistics behind the flightstick are daunting, but with enough buttons one could do nitrous, radio controls, overtake boost, horn, exhaust flame throwers, or a coffee maker. Ok I don't actually drink coffee but there are all sorts of cool things to control without ever taking your hand off the shifter. In my search I actually found a shifter with an iR remote for your stereo built into the top (pac racerboy sk-1 shifter) although discontinued and the name alone would prohibit the purchase.
So far I'm headed down the road of custom pistol grip of some sort with a built in led for some lighting effect, most likely for a lit shift pattern. I got my test shifter wired with a led and resistor so it can be powered from 12v, now to tackle the structural reinforcements.. I will say that with the way I built the shift rod, the pattern only has a 6 inch throw from 1st to 2nd with the ball on it.
