Nice. If I had a manual, I would go with a 9 ball.

If I had a manual I would go with a beer tap shifter handle.
Pool ball is cool too, keeping it old school.

nice. I did that with a grenade... except the hole was already drilled, I just had to grind it out some. I'll post some pics later if I remember.
It seems like the stock ***** come apart really easy for some reason.

The newer (97+) **** stays together better.
I've got an aluminum t-handle shifter for when i get a manual.

I've been thinking about replacing my stock auto handles with something custom turned on the lathe or mill. Perhaps a piece of Cocobolo wood or something to that effect with some 6061 caps.

An old grenade would be cool as well. If I could get my hands on one I think that having the side handle depressing the OEM button would be a neat trick.
