    The finish size is 1.5" OD to match your knob, so anything over that. OAL is about 1".

    I think that will work for giving @TeecoTaco a chubby, but I'll need something smaller for sure. 3-4" is suitable max for turning at home.

    Also, if you find something I'll be driving past you on Sunday. I pretty much go over the Cuomo bridge and up Merritt pkwy up toward Hartford.

    Not going to be able to get a piece today unfortunately. They do mostly 6-4 here, but also have some CP. I doubt you want that though?

    CP is easier to machine, but may not match the color of your knob (which is 6-4)?

    Double checked with Rick before posting this and he said it was ok.

    I have his V2 SS knob with black delrin ring with grip grooves, 6 speed engraving, and black collar with no engraving. I'm looking to swap it out with a stock one because I'm selling my car to Carvana and that's one of my mods I can take off without affecting the sales price. I actually only need the stock collar because, like an idiot, I sold it after picking up Rick's knob. Since the knob seems to be a very hot item, I'm looking to get back what I paid for it (~$200) plus your stock collar. There's one catch...the car is going to Carvana on Saturday night, so this needs to happen soon or else it goes with the car, which I'd hate for it to happen. Located in Los Angeles. I'm available tonight, tomorrow night, Friday night, and Saturday morning.

    Reason for not creating a separate thread is that marketplace rules say item has to be off the car before creating a new thread. I PM'd a mod to see if an exception can be made but haven't heard back.

    Already received a PM.

    In the chance that it falls through, I thought of another way this can go down. You overnight me your stock collar, I take off the knob and install my stock one, then I ship Rick's knob to you for $200 plus shipping.

    Haha. Possibly. I actually got the PM less than 2 minutes after my post.

    This knob is honestly one of the best mods I've done to any of my vehicles. There's a reason why Rick is always sold out. If you don't have one and want one, don't even think about it when you have the opportunity. Just pull the trigger.

    Nice! I'm no longer the newest knob newb!

    EDIT: Also, @Leopard Print , if you run into any trouble with your OEM knob, I have mine packed away and I'm close enough to help you out in a pinch, just no collar for you b/c I painted mine. Just in case you break yours putting it back on.

    Okay, I finally got around to finalizing the V1 MT updated design (at this point, going forward I must call it a V3 to avoid confusion). Basically, my goal here was to cover the chrome boot collar. Also, was getting super tired of machining the twist lock connector, so now it is 3D printed much like the V1 AT connector.

    One drawback, no black/copolymer/Delrin available due to a very thin wall at the neck of the knob. Not a big deal, older style Copolymer V1 MT's were rarely ordered (twice I think) due to them being stupidly light at 140g.

    Anyway, here it is.
