I have a grenade just like that I started drilling in a drill press at about 1200 rpm I drilled on it for like 30 minutes used quite a bit of oil and did not make much progress I am using a brand new fastball high speed bit. Did to have trouble drilling it or am I doing something wrong

So the lever on the grenade will work as the release button for the shifted??!! If that's the case, I'm in. I want one. It will match my themed GC perfect!!!

1200rpm is way to fast. You'll burn that bit up. I used my dremel with a grind stone just to inlarge the hole a little. I did this mod today and made the lever as the release button.

600rpm is what you want for a 1/2" bit

I'll be getting a few dummy grenades in the next felt days and will be trying to make an easily duplicated shifter. If I could make a few of these would any of you be interested in buying them? I'd make sure they work on the automatic shifter.
