You spend all that money on Bogarts and a Textralia clutch but won't drop $65 on a shift knob? I replaced my Hurst knob with nothing else but another Hurst knob. You and I both know that's the way to go. You should pony up and buy one. $65 doesn't seem like that much going by the mods you already have cost you.

Thumbs up

Actually the Stainless Steel isn't as bad as the MBA aluminum shift knob it replaced. Regardless whether it's hot or cold I prefer the weight of a metal shift knob.

Grifter,

I think I might have Hurst Ball around somewhere. Shoot me a PM and I'll make you a good deal, if I can find it...

No flame taken but I bought the car with Bogart's and purchased my Tex off chucky for next to nothing...

Also, why spend money on a part that will most likely do the same thing again?

Just like how I refused to spend $65 on a smooth bellow for my nitrous kit, I waited until I found one used. I believe in buying the best parts but try not to spend too much on parts that don't "matter".

Look at the WS6store they have a Shop ball that is great way bigger than the white balls above. It weighs atleast 2.00lbs. LOL. I got my in satin. I love it. The only thing that is a downfall is, that in the heat of the day you grab a metal ball. It gets flamming hot. It looks great.

I wouldn't want it any bigger than a cue ball, that seems way too big.
