where to find a new stock shift ****?

If this subject has been over already i appoligize as i didnt uncover anything when i searched. Ive almost got my 84 restored but theres 2 things on the interior that show their age. One is the steeringwheel which ill replace at some point and thats not an issue......... But here is the thing, where can i get a stock replacement shift **** thats new? Ive looked in my Victoria British mags to be disapointed and havent been able to find anything. Mine doesnt look bad its just smooth and worn and the rest of the interior is finished so it kinda sticks out like a sore thumb. Id consider a tasteful aftermarket **** but ONLY if it screws on. Ive already tried the universal junk that has the plastic tubes inside and they all come right off. Yalls suggestions are much appreciated. Id consider a billet **** as long as its not like the junk they put in civics and all, im sure yall know what im looking for..... something thats tasteful and if anything sort of era correct with these cars. Im trying to keep it nastalgic. Thanks guys.

Unfortunately, I don't think the OEM **** is available through Mazda anymore. There is a guy here in the D.C. area that has quite a business going with FB parts... I think he said that he's stripped and inventoried parts from 150 FBs and SAs... I'll get his phone number for everyone in the morning... If you are looking at aftermarket shift ***** and steering wheels, I love my setup.
