%) %) %) I get the boots from like pepboy's ect for the floor shifter's. Or you can find them at a speed shop. But since I left Ca. no speed shops in Oz it is hard to find parts. I still get my parts in Ca. cost less even with shipping. And I dont have any pic. right now. :eek: :eek: :eek: Bill :p :cool: ;D

I was thinking....I have a duff shifter for my 4wd, is there anyway that i could cut the bottom of it off and weld a beer tap on so that i would have a beer tap as a 4 wheel shifter?

I've got Duff's shift knobs, walnut I believe....I tried some "rice" looking ones for awhile, I liked the looks but just couldn't get them to stay tight, always came loose. So I went back to the good old stand by...here's a pic ;D

I am sure that there is some way to do this!

Be creative... post a picture of the tap and thetop of the shifter... we will figure it out ---- maybe start a new thread for it!

Saw a guy do that with a Michelob tap for his regular transmission shifter on a Heep. Ubfortunately, I didn't get a chance to ask how he did it. Looked interesting though.

Funny that you brought this up.....My buddie has a Subaru RS and his shifter knob is about to fall off. Just joking around I came up with the idea of buying one of those cheapo Samurai swords and cutting it down. Modify part of his original shifter then weld or bolt the sword to the shifter. Actually I think that might look kinda cool having a sword sticking out from your shifter boot :cool:

I have a couple different sets to go with my Red White and Blue, but these have been in the longest.

PS ....I would pay a finders fee for a new blue annodized version of the round one on the racket shifter. Shoulda bought it then.......

Don't forget the a boot of somesorts, and here's why, I found this out the interesting way last night. Was driving through some high water (wasnt that high) on a local street down here going pretty fast and as Im driving, water starts spraying up through the cab from the floor shifter bezel, mine is missing the inside slider piece. Glad I hadnt removed the bezel like I had planned on, because I had water dripping from the top
