Black Delrin Shift *****
Description
Custom machined 2 inch round Delrin shift ****. This is a direct fit/replacement for the stock threaded shift **** and will not rattle like many universal ***** do. The hole extends as deep as possible to give you the lowest possible installed height.
For decades the round ball ***** have been the most popular style due to their comfort and style. Delrin is an ideal material for this application due to it's superior strength/weight ratio and low thermal conductivity.

Notes from author
As you can see in the picture, we leave the faint tooling marks. This provides a little more texture, making it less likely for you hand to slip when sweaty and shifting hard.
My favorite thing about these ***** is they quickly match your body temperature, making them very comfortable to hold and unlike one of my previous shift *****, no third degree burns in the summer.

One of our shipping locations happens to be in WA so it really speeds things up.
I'm glad to hear you are happy with the **** so far. I'm a huge fan of them personally. I love the sphere shape for comfort, but was sick of burning my hand on my chrome one in the summer.

Should also post in here, got my **** a while back, excellent product! Though a bigger size would be awesome (I've got big hands).
I should also mention that the S4 **** also fit the GSL-SE first gens so you can add that to your fitment.

Yeah, I have a round bubble **** that is about the same size left over from my corolla but the thread pitch is just a little bit off. Only issue I'm having right now is that I turned it until it started to snug up but when I'm shifting I can feel the **** rotate, is it ok to go a little past snug so it's not moving around on me when I'm driving?
I would also like to note that the bolts supplied for the FB Delrin Motor Mounts are only just long enough to get the nut entirely on and through the nylon locker, it would be nice to have another 1/2" or so to possibly put on another nut for peace of mind.

The ***** should be threaded on as hard as you can by hand. The threads actually have a slight taper, so the more you tighten the **** the tighter it will get. You will have a very hard time tearing the threads out by hand, the material is much stronger then most people expect. It will take a little over 300 ft lbs to tear the threads out. In a few cases (mostly on vintage cars) we've found that the threads on the shifter are slightly worn. A little teflon tape will take up the slack.

I'll make a note of that for when we order more hardware. The nylon locknuts will ensure the nut will not back off. On the rotaries the only thing to make sure is that the nuts are facing the ground. Not only is this the safer method, but it ensures the heat from the header will not melt the nylon.

I'll see if I can snap a picture of my S5 this weekend.
Technically yes as they are done on a manual lathe. We designed a custom tool to do these *****, although we are planning to tool up a cnc lathe eventually to do these as well as many other designs.

Sorry between the holidays and making sure orders are shipping on time, I haven't had time to login for the last few days.
The delrin ***** are around 82 grams. We are working on a line of heavier ones, but at this time I'n not sure when they will be ready.
