Out Of System Weighted Knob

Hey all,

I am in the process of getting my shift knobs made and off the machines in less than 3 weeks. My knob will be weighted at roughly 500 grams, machined out of aircraft grade aluminum.

What do you guys think? My first batch will be 10 in a brushed finish, and 10 in a polished finish. Here are some renderings I made of said knob.

certainly. future batches are very likely to see different material and thus different weight. I will keep you updated.

I designed it so it is reverse lockout compatible and hides whatever the OEM knob does.

It's reverse lockout compatible. The top of the knob is ergonomically fit for spirited and daily driving at this height.
