White 4-Speed Shifter "KNOB", Where??

Hey, Does anyone know where I can get a White "Ball" style shifter knob, with the 4-Speed H pattern on it?? TIA, Mick (For use with an Act Labs GPL Shifter)

How is the original ACT LABS shifter know attached to the stick? If its threaded most of the aftermarket knobs have adapters for different threads. A standard Hurst shift knob is 3/8-16 I belive, but I would bet the ACT LABS shifter is metric. MadDAWG

The shaft on the AL Shifter is 5/16" but I'm not concerned with the fit just yet. I'll make it work, I just need to find a white ball knob, with the H pattern 4-speed on it.. (The knob that came with the shifter is a pistol grip type that just slides on the smooth 5/16" shaft) MadDAWG wrote:

Well if a real one would work then try Summit Racing, Jegs, or maybe even some of the chain stores like Auto Zone. MadDAWG

They usually sell for about $25 retail. Also, I have ordered a number of Hurst Parts including just the knob off of ebay. There are currently a couple for auction there now, listed as mid 60's GTO shift knobs. Good Luck

I'm pretty sure I've seen them at Pep Boys. "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<[email hidden]>... > Well if a real one would work then try Summit Racing, Jegs, or maybe even > some of the chain stores like Auto Zone. > > MadDAWG

I'd love to have one for my Corvette! Nothing nicer looking than a big white shift knob with a black interior. But I've yet to find one for a 6 speed Vette. There was a company that made one for the Camaro. But the reverse pattern is wrong. Vettes have the ZF German box. Jegs or Summit has the "Classic" style Hurst knobs with the pattern engraved. Don't get the "New" Hurst knob with the clear plastic pattern insert. They aren't the same size. (new one is much smaller) Mick wrote: > Hey, > Does anyone know where I can get a White "Ball" style shifter knob, > with the 4-Speed H pattern on it?? > TIA, Mick (For use with an Act Labs GPL Shifter) -- Ric Seyler Online Racing: RicSeyler GPL Handicap 7.01 [email hidden] http://www.pcola.gulf.net/~ricseyler -------------------------------------- "Homer no function beer well without." - H.J.

Great! Tomorrow I'll get up to Daytona, and the closest Pep Boys! I've checked the local Auto Zone, Parts Plus, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc. with not much luck. They all carry knobs, but none have a white ball.. Mostly the black 8-Ball, and various other knobs. If nothing else, I'll settle for an aluminum ball I saw at Auto Zone, but really want to get the Nascar thing going on ;-) Thanks for all replies!

Have you tried any local car dealerships? If you have a good GM Goodwrench parts department, they MAY have a Hurst white ball shifter knob. I thought for sure that Checker Auto (or whatever they call it on the east coast) would have that. Good luck!

Sady no, GM doesn't offer one. I've looked nationwide and there isn't one to be had for the ZF 6-speed Vette. Any manufacturers here? ;-) Ryan wrote:

VERY cool. Would any of you mind sending me pictures of your Shifters after you have changed the knobs? I've been thinking of doing that myself. Raymond ACT LABS www.act-labs.com On Thu, 15 Nov 2001 13:19:24 -0700, "Ryan" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I'll buy you the shifter knob in exchange for a GPL Shifter! (USB please) lol :-) Ryan
