    Uhh, maybe get some brass knuckles, tap & thread the bottom, and screw them onto a shifter?

    Are you really a machinist? [​IMG]

    They are sold legally as paperweights.

    Do an internet search of "brass paperweights" or "brass knuckle paperweights" and you should be able to find some.

    here is an easy way to do it , use one of these knife handles , they cost about 20 bucks , put a clip on the end of the shaft with a safety wire , in case you need to use it.

    LINK YO KNUCKLE KNIFE SITE

    Also makes a great kickstart peddle for a motorcycle.

    Not too hard to find on ebay . They are only illegal if you punch someone with them and get caought , or you get frisked and they are in your back pocket . Otherwise as a shifter handle you should be safe .

    I think Burndup is a guy

    And since only 10%-20% of Hambers are gay (not that there is anything wrong with that) and most of those are in the closet still. Thus the lack of interest in Burndups nipples. So give it time and maybe some of the gay hambers will comment.

    Around here they are "belt buckles" they have a little brass pin that screws in between the 2 center finger holes to put through the hole in your belt... of course they come "some assembly required"! [​IMG]

    Just a heads up. Some of the ones advertised on ebay as plastic are actually aluminum. I picked up one a few months ago to convert into a shift knob myself. When it got here something seemed, a bit off. After a quick scratch and polish my theory was proven. Although they are pretty thin. It not enough to fit over the shifter.

    you muthafuggas, you blew up the spot! I was gonna use the trench knife knuckle handle for my 50 chevy - with 3 on the tree it will look like you are trying to punch the window!
