Who has made a pool ball shift knob?

The tie rod end cap was less that $2.00. I send you some pics of mine tonight....

 

That would be cool. I'd like to see how it looks. What size did you get?

 

I forgot I drove the Tacoma to work today so I just ran out a took a couple of pics on my Droid. That's why they look like shit. I think that this is the 1/2 inch tie rod end dust cap.

 

That looks good. How did you get the chrome cap off? Just pull or?

 

You mean the Hurst T-Handle ? That screws on and off....

 

I have an 8 ball shifter if anyone would like to trade for a stock one...

 

No, the chrome cap on top of the shift boot.

 

I made a wood shift knob once for one of my cars and bored a hole in the bottom then put masking tape on the shift boot, wiped silicone spray lube all over the shifter and threads, filled the hole in the knob half up with body filler and stuck it on then let it set. It held just fine and didn't get loose until I took it on and off a few times. The filler made an exact match for the threads, step, and taper on the shifter so it fit real snug. If I did it again, especially with just a ball I'd use something like a thick epoxy or JB waterweld for more strength, but with the silicone on the shifter nothing stuck on the threads.

 

sorry Boyd, I couldn't resist. I gotta get down there a hang out with you Jersey guys again if I can ever get a weekend off.

 

Sorry about that. I left the chrome cap there. The base of the tie rod end dust cap fits perfectly over the chrome cap and is very snug.

 

Ok gotcha. In the pic it looked like you removed it. I might have to invest $2.00
