Here are the proto type knobs. We have the twin shift, t-case, j-case, 3 speed, and NP 435 pattern shown. These will be carried in stock at James Duff. They come un-painted, and we can get any shift pattern you want. These are just the most "common" ones. Painting them is a posability I will post more on that when we work out the details.
The thread pattern is a 3/8 16. This fits all the Duff shifters and I believe the W.H. ones as well (some one correct me if I am wrong). The Toms and JB Fab are a 7/16 20 thread. These should fit the hurst style shifters as well.
We are cutting all the blanks now and will start on the shift patterns next so these will be ready soon.
I will keep you posted so get your info ready. Thanks Steve H. :cool:

Steve, Why don't you make them 1/2" and then supply inserts for 7/16 and 3/8? (Many of the custom knobs come that way) That would cover it for everyone including those of us that have 7/16" and 1/2" threads. (Mine are 1/2")

more pics

The trhread pitch was determined due to the size of our Duff shifters. These are easily drilled and tapped for a larger size. As far as the threaded insert we could do that but it would drive cost up a bit. (still looking into this part) I may be able to tap for size when ordered this is still in discussion. Here are a couple of more pics for you. :cool: ;D

Dangit. You people just don't make it easy for a guy to choose a part, do you? Now I'm torn between two styles of shifter knobs for crying out loud.

right now we are looking at $35 each (im working on that) and I am working out details on setting up a mass buy as well.
Hopefully cost can come down a bit and we can offer a few more options as well. (ie color options for the letters, custom lettering instead of script, maybe thread pitches.) Enjoy and I will post when they are ready. :cool:

I think it has to do with the amount of people reqeusting this type of stuff. It seems to be a market that has not been explored to much yet.
Hopefully we will see some more new products as well?. :cool:

Shifter knob is 1 7/8" diameter with a 1 1/4" diameter flat at the top. So the highth is about an inch and a half total.
