When you measure the shifter handle for an np435

[Johnnyb]

So my question is pretty simple, when you measure the length of the finger which reaches into the np435, do you measure from the top of the ball or the bottom of the ball?

The way it looks to me, you have the short finger one at 3" the longer one is 3.75" long. Which depends on if you have the short top housing at 5 5/8" or the tall housing at 6 3/8" Better explanation below,

Awesome yeah I was just double questioning my sanity to make sure the measurement wasn't from the top of the ball. I order stuff from Novak pretty regularly and I want to get a straight shifter so I can cut it and bend it from my gearbanger

Yes I saw this, that's part of the reason I posted it. I will PM the seller and ask if he can measure the finger and let me know.
