    I actually wanted a 2.25-2.5 inch diameter knob. I saw some Titanium ones you had for sale previously and that would be perfect. I was just hoping to have your torching expertise for the color. That’s a good eye that it’s a WC Lathewerks knob. I’d like to go with you because you have that sweet collar for the shift boot. Would you have some photos of other fonts you use for the shift pattern? I’m not in love with the “R” from TRD.

    2.25" diameter will be about 470g, so I just assumed you wanted a smaller diameter given your gram target. It would actually have to be smaller to hit that weight. I could probably hollow it out like a hybrid to hit both diameter and weight, but that just seems crazy considering it's Titanium.

    I do have a pic of the R of my default font, let me try to find it.

    CNC conversion was completed last night on my bench mill.

    First knob being made at home. So far, so good. I would have finished it, but apparently I need to buy more collets.

    There are some pictures on the previous page (for the hybrid version, anyway), and at the bottom of the OP. Cost structure is also in the OP. As per site rules I cannot take money until I have the parts ready for you, so it might be a week or ... three before I have some in stock.

    Technically I have 4. One of the delrins (ss core), yes. @0uTkAsT has expressed interest in it, but there is no hold on it currently.

    I also have 3 SS/Al core hybrids in stock.

    - #1 is already engraved (default 6sp on top, TACOMA on both sides), and was my experiment to see how light I could make a hybrid. It is 485g.
    - #2 has some chatter in the ID threads of the sphere (1-1/4" threads holding the two pieces together), so that will go for discounted price. Won't affect anything negatively, and it is not visible when installed of course.
    - #3 is blank and flawless

    Sorry to bother and bear with me but do you have a pic of the delrin (SS core)? Are there any engravings on it? How much shipped?

    This is the current state of it ... and looks like this when finished.

    [​IMG]

    I processed two of them together, and here is a shot of the core prior to the milling operations(they are 100% complete at this point, obviously).

    [​IMG]

    Base knob cost is $120 like the other hybrids (stainless being the main driver of cost for this version), and subject to engraving fees posted in the OP as well as shipping. I do not list this version in the OP, it's on my non-existing secret menu.

    I'm assuming the heavier knobs do not come in black? Is the one marked black the only option for that color? Reason for asking is that I want a heavy knob. I ordered the TRD PRO knob and do not like it at all. It's way to light!. The black one would be of similar weight to the PRO, if I did my calculations right. Amazon has the PRO knob weighing 6.9OZ. Do I place my order on this site? Thank you for your time and any advice is much appreciated.

    The heaviest black delrin knob I currently offer is 300g/10.6oz, and I literally just sold out an hour ago.

    I am not an official vendor, so I cannot take prepaid orders, but I do plan to produce more in the coming weeks.
