    Mid shifter handle and knob options

    Friends I need your help,

    I live in Aruba so I have no local options for parts and all the other add on goodies options.
    Am getting my engine with mid shifter from Mike Forte and want a nice looking shifter handle with knob.

    Any online ideas for me to look, or tip and suggestions of course....plus any pic is more than welcome.

    Thx in advance,

    Tim

    I got a solid stainless steel polished knob from SweetKnobs. He makes them to order with your specific thread pattern tapped for you.

    I have a Lokar shifter and I think the part number is MSL615F. The knob is a standard 3/8-16 thread and I thinkit is a Hurst 163-0108
    I also have the Forte mid shifter.

    If you are getting at Termec trans, when you register, you can get a free knob/ball. I liked the options and got the white resin one and will use it. I am currently planning on using a similar shifter to Dave W, prob in the 5-6 inch height range.

    This likely won't help you but a local speed shop here in Edmonton Canada called Mopac. They have a few stores in western Canada and stock a lot of stuff.

    I’m running the same setup, only with a white knob.

    Me, too. I seem to recall someone used the same shifter, but decided to shorten it. You can cut off a bit on the bottom, and use the "top" hole of the original as the "bottom". Either way, I think this solution works pretty well.
