So I was thinking of what shift knob to buy and remebered two things.
#1. Im a cheap bastard
#2. I can make my own

So My idea involved a M10 1.25 hex flanged nut, 10mm washer, 2 skateboard truck bushings, and a skateboard wheel of your choosing.

All of this is really straight forward and the only modifying needed is you will need to cut the bushings down to fit on the shifter with the washer and nut.

If you take some clippers or a small hand saw you need to cut about half of each bushing off(I used a sharp set of wire dykes). You can see the bushing in my pics.

But anyway, please tell me what you think. Its just a different path to spending $50-125 on a shift knob.
