I could, it just involves weighting it with a denser material.

For example, the latest 8 & 9 ounce ***** were weighted with brass, which is ~.308lb/in³. I could do tungsten which is .697lb/in³, or ~2.25x denser.

Enough with the math, it's definitely possible =) My densities are quoted from this table: http://www.thelenchannel.com/1density.php

Cheers!

Gordon was kind enough to give me one of his shift **** made by Landon, after sitting in his car and drooling over it..It fits great, and the weighted **** provides better shifting, needless to say, it is retro and has a kickass Mazda emblem on it...
Thank you Gordon once again

Awesome work man!
I just have a couple questions:
Is it possible to weight the **** more towards the bottom end on a 5 or 6" ***** ****?
Is there any flex in the tall *****? The stock S5 **** has just a little flex in the material which I can't stand, so I'm wondering if the delrin is hard enough to remain crisp at 5 or 6".
thanks, cheers

I could do that, but I can't weight a delrin ****. I split the **** into 2 pieces, hollow it out, & add brass powder, then glue back together. Problem is, I can only glue acrylic, as the delrin is so slick the glue doesn't adhere to it.

As for flex, everything's going to flex a little bit, I hate to say it but I think my **** will be prone to it as well, however I've yet to drive around in my car with one of my ***** style ***** in it. I can test it out in my car before sending it to you, if you would like?

Cheers!

Yep, tested before even getting it engraved. Felt good to me! Glad you like them, it was a fun interesting project!!
