    Got mine installed today. This thing is a work of art. Looks amazing, fits amazing, and the best part, shifts amazing. So much smoother now. The weight is perfect for the MT. Thank you!

    Oddly enough, I am also in line ... haha. Have been for a while and wanted to get a Delrin/SS Hybrid in my truck for the summer ... probably not going to happen.

    I do have about 30-35 delrin and aluminum knobs in process already, but they are only about this far along.

    How are even you in line?
    Yeah, those delrin/aluminum ones look the sweetest and actually look very much like Si knob. Only Si has something soft on a side, instead of delrin, and I am not a big fan of that. Need some harder and more aggressive surface with checkering.

    Have you looked into some other materials like G10? Popular material for handgun and knife scales. Very grippy if checkered.

    Very familiar with G10, but my current manufacturing methods are not suited for it. I would basically have to throw out each cutter after a single use, and the swarf is very damaging to bearings and guide ways. I would do a one-off job if somebody was willing to pay the premium, but it will definitely not be part of regular operation.

    I just clicked on your IG for the first time. That Roadrunner knob is killer!

    Thanks! The programming strategy was a little weird for that pattern but I was pretty happy with the end result!

    I can see that. You should be really proud about that entire collection.

    I try to snap a picture whenever I make something different, really does turn into something to look at over time. I am definitely proud, no question about it.

    It's your portfolio of both art and machining.

    If I am not mistaken this is aluminum with delrin. Customer did his own color filling of the shift-pattern engraving.

    Yep, basically the same as in the MT knob pictured in the OP except it has the pocketed 6sp pattern and a different boot collar material.

    Rick, was the stock collar supposed to come off? I left it on... just unscrewed the old one and put yours on
