Who has made a pool ball shift knob?

I have the right size nut, but I'm having trouble on how to atatch it. I already "attempted" an 8 ball and it didn't end well. Any ideas?

 

Drill a hole in the ball the size of the outer diameter of the nut and use goop to glue the nut in.

 

I got an 8 ball to do this. I was going to use a tap and dye set. Just never got around to doing it.

 

That was my plan, I just don't know if it will hold?

 

I thought of this also, but I don't have a tap set.

 

jb weld...itll hold

 

if you use an epoxy you will be golden....
he were you at a wharton meet back in march? or april

 

dam you beat me too it

 

Can't really remember. There was a dude with a deisel dodge when I went.

 

where is a good place to get it?

 

And Oswego swamped his truck.....oh wait.

 

yup ok that was you
you can get epoxy at any hardware store or home depot, ect

 

I have some 5 minute epoxy, I guess I'll give it a shot. Thanks everyone for the help.

 

yup if u drill out the hole smaller than the nut..then use a dremel to make the shape of the nut "it does not have to be perfect" then expoy it in it will never come out
just be careful to not get epoxy in the threads
then make me one and send it

 

Haha!...yeah I tried that my first attempt. The nut was a little too snug and.....One million pieces.

 

Well I got it done today. Drilled a hole a little small like the first time and cut some notches to fit the nut, then glued it. I wish I didnt eff up the 8 ball, but I kinda like the cue ball. I even found a rubber washer that was a perfect fit over the ugly chrome top of the boot.

 

Here is a slightly better crappy pic.

 

Nice

 

You may want to try one of these. It is a tie rod end boot cap. The link to this part at Autozone is listed below. I used it when I added a Hurst T-handle knob on my shifter :

looks good, but I'm cheap! Total cost of this mod was $00.64.
