Golf Ball Shift Knob
Well, I have been looking for a new shift knob for my auto. I recall reading where someone said they swapped one from a Tacoma, so today I asked my neighbor if I could see if the one from his Tundra would work. It didn't...
It would've been nice as he works at the Tundra line here in San Antonio.I remembered someone on here making an apple shifter for his girlfriend who was a teacher. So, out of curiosity I dug around in my tool box and found the tap-and-die I used for a Jeep project a while back. I tried my shift knob on it and it seemed like a close fit, so I dug out an old golf ball and drilled a hole in it, then tapped it with the 5/16th tap I have. I tried to get the National Security Agency logo to end up on top, and it came out pretty well... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (Click on thumbnails for full-sized pic) It wasn't as perfect of a fit as the stock know; but it tightened down pretty well, and actually it feels pretty good! I am going to try and find a black golf ball and try it, but in the mean time I am going to leave the NSA one in place to make sure it stays put well. So, I thought I would share my little mod with my Yaris family! Cheers! M2 Last edited by MadMax; 10-23-2010 at 08:00 PM. |
