Thanks Guys! I'll be busy this weekend I can see. A dab of black RTV on the back of the emblem works good to hold it in place. Spin the knob on tight and then set the emblem. The RTV allows you to adjust the position to your liking and then let it sit over night.

I am making these to order so if you have a special request let me know. I can bore them as deep or shallow as you like to set the height where you want it.

I'll be in the garage today working on the orders I have so far. If you're interested in trying one of these shoot me a message.

Steve

I came up with the idea to machine spacers to the exact deminison necessary to clock the emblem in the same place regardless to the combination of spacers used. The knobs can now be adjusted to your liking with four possible positions, zero to 3 spacers. This first batch is shipping with spacers included free. They should ship middle of the week.

Thanks guys,

Steve

I've had a few of you ask via PM so I thought I would clarify a couple of things.

Due to the exact sizing of the spacers the emblem will sit straight no matter which spacer setup if any you choose. So, throw the spacers in the glovebox and if the mood strikes you can spin the knob off, add or remove spacers and spin it back on. The emblem is still where it should be. Very cool! Maybe you like a more aggressive, lower knob but your wife (you let your wife drive your car????) likes the taller position, now you can adjust it on the fly.

The spacers allow for about 5/16" of total adjustment up from the starting point. You still must choose either the lowest possible knob or the mid height as a starting point. If you prefer I can do a custom height to your spec's.

I need to know the emblem color when you place your order. I found that the emblems are ever so slightly a different size and I'm very anal about certain things. I machine the recess to fit the emblem you choose so the fit and finish is very good.

Thanks for all the interest.

Guys,

I shipped the first batch of knobs today so those of you that ordered and paid for them last week should see them in a few days. I have a few outstanding orders to machine this weekend that will ship next week. I am going to honor the $40.00 price with the spacers through Friday 4/11/14 but after that I'm raising the price to $50.00. So, get your order in and save yourself $10.00. Shipping in US is $5.00. Ask for a quote on international shipping.

Thanks,

Steve

I made up another batch of knobs this past weekend. I have had enough requests now that I am offering 3 standard versions and am refering to them by there nominal height. They are 5", 5-1/4", and 5-1/2" all measured from the shift gate on my '74 to the top of the knob. I'm still shipping them with the 3 spacers to allow further adjustment up from the base height. Send me a PM if you're interested in one.

Thanks
Steve

I got mine the other day. Awesome product!!!!


Thanks,
Ron McCall

Thanks guys for all the orders. I dropped off the most recent batch of orders last night at the post office so you should see them mid week. I have a few more to make if anyone else is interested I'll add you to the list.

Thanks,
Steve

John

Thanks John! I'm glad you're happy with it. Spread the word.

Happy shifting,

Steve

Got mine yesterday, and I love it!
Thank you Steve

Martin

Thanks Martin. Nice to know a little bit of me is running around in a Pantera half way around the world. Cool!

Happy shifting,

Steve

"The check is in the mail!"

Here is mine installed. Really do like it.

Awesome! Glad you're happy!

Steve

Steve,
Received my 5 1/4" and it is spot on perfect for me.

Fantastic quality. Thank you again for offering this product to the Pantera community.

Steve:


Ditto for me! Received your knob last Wed, and installed it Thursday. The test drive on Friday was 150 miles to a weekend show. Returned on Sunday pm (a 350 mile weekend) and can say the new position (lower-installed without spacers) was more comfortable and excellent quality.

Great! Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback.

Steve

I'm headed out into the garage to work on orders this morning. If you want one now would be a good time to get your order in.

Steve

Are these aluminum made?

Kid,

Yes they are machined out of solid aluminum. International shipping is an additional $20.00US. Your total would be $70.00US. Send me a PM if you would like payment instructions.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi, My name is Frank Chambers, my wife Maggie and I started the Capitol Panteras back in the late 80's. We lived in Loomis (now called Granite Bay)
I purchased my latest Pantera earlier this year, I'm in the process of making it a reliable driver. I just found your billet shift knob online and would like to have one, a 5" with the Blue/White emblem. Could you tell me pls what I need to do to make a purchase as I am very unfamiliar with this web site and how to navigate it. My email is fdcandmmc@aol.com

Frank,

I keep meaning to take a photo of mine in the car, which is why I haven't yet posted about mine. All I can say is that these are beautifully made, suit the car perfectly, are very comfortable in-hand and are an exceptional value. Thanks again Steve. I LOVE mine!

Mark

I received/installed/loved my knob too, but did a double take when seeing this 180 degree out of place/phase/position logo placement in this recently for sale GT-5.

I doubt it's one of mine since it's being sold at PIM. I wonder if the previous owner cut the shifter down? If the new owner finds this thread and wants to send it to me I can put it on my arbor and remove the logo. Then they can glue a new one on straight.

Steve

is it possible to turn the shifter 180 degrees?

Sure, that should work.

Steve

Hi Steve - you got PM
