I just ordered this on Ebay. I never really thought about it much but they have some really cool beer taps for that would make perfect Hot Rod shift knobs. I know its been done but I don't really see to many at shows.

Anyway lets see some pics of your favorite shift knobs

The problem I have is that most of the cars I have or am looking at are column shift. So it is hard to figure out a cool shifter knob. I have seen the cheap/cheesy ones you can buy at wal-mart or autozone. They are not really an improvement.

When I had my 03 Cobra someone on the forum went to a lot of trouble to have these made.

I never had a column shifter car cool enough for a new knob but I think one of these would look cool if you want to make your own. I totally agree, all of the off the shelf ones you get seem to be really cheap looking. They have quite a few custom ones on ebay, spendy but they look good.

I'd like a cool shift knob, but not sure how to incorporate my line lock into one?

yeah I am sure the cop who stops you will think so too.


It is nicely done though.


I have seen some shift knobs that look like loaded revolver cylinders, not super cool anymore(kind of played out to me), but I have my idea for a take on it. Get an actual old revolver cylinder and have it machined to fit your shifter rod. Not a polished piece of perfection, but something with a touch of age and use to it.

This is a Factory Acura solid polished Walnut shifter knob upgrade. You would never believe the price people paid to have it as a dealer option. $300+ for the screw on knob.

Keeping it for the sake of 90's insanity. Had it in my intgra for a while.

I've seen a beer tap done before, but that was only once and in the '90's.

Great idea, man.

Probably old hat by now but this piston has been with me 0n varios cars since 1986.
I did go to the original B/M for awhile but so many asked where the piston was I reinstalled it.

Finally got it drilled and "Taped"

I have an NOS piston from a Honda C110 50 from the sixties that I polished and it's been sitting in my garage for years waiting for me to get the truck done.

This is one in my brothers Roadster. It's a crappy photo, that is a real black widow incased in clear resin. I really dig the original one he had in the car which was an aluminum skull. It was before you could buy aluminum skull shift knobs at every Starbucks and Kragen auto parts store. He picked up an aluminum skull at a swap meet and the whole back of it was flat, so he had a guy build it up with weld and then he ground it round and had it polished.
