Need sources: Shift Knobs

[rocco16v at netzero.net (L F)]

Along those same lines, www.reidtool.com has some cool Soft Touch knobs, in several styles, that would work with the same mods as Pieper mentioned.
  They are less than $4.  
(I'm finding myself becoming more like Cheapazz as time goes on...)
 I bought one of each style, just to see what they are like ($4, remember).  
They are rather 'retro-looking', but you wouldn't see many cars with the same shifter knob.....
I haven't installed any of them because I like my big, white, Hurst-style knob.  In an all-black interior, it gives a little visual point of interest.

  shift knobs:  http://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/109/html/2006.html# Item 62195K21.  Of course you
  have to re-tap to M12-1.50, but that's 5 minutes.  Cost: $3.52.  Looks stark and mean, like Mike
  Tyson.

  shift boots:  Spare naugahyde and a sewing machine.  30 minutes.  Use contrasting colored thread
  for the suspr fast euro look.  Cost: almost free.

  Hey, they call me cheapass for a reason.
