2 piece weighted shifter knob
Description
just picked a 2009 mustang gt up a little bit ago an its shift knob wasn't in the best shape so i printed a few different shifters i found online an i found alot that would have worked but only a few that i actually liked the look an feel of but the biggest issue i had was how little they weigh so they never felt that great so i seen a few that was made to have weights added so i decided to try to just recreate the original shifter as close as i could an i got the shape pretty close. only thing i really would like to do over is the text with a different font but i only had 3 to choice from so i used what i had but i can add the cap smooth without the text of with whatever anyone would like or i can share the tinker file so you can make changes yours self if u would like but for now ive included all the stuff ive printed. i was never able to get any of the inserts with the text to fit into the negatives of the text in the cap so i still need to work on this but if u did alittle sanding u might be able to get it to fit but i opted to just use a blank insert that was rounded to fit to the inside of the cap an a white led to light it up so it makes it easier to see. i used to big nuts to give it weight an at first they was abit loose an it added a nice click when shifting but after adding the white insert cap i used a spring between the blank insert and v3 blank shell an the pressure secured the nuts an have kept it from giving the nice click so might get a longer spring so i can let it sit on top of the shifters threaded shaft instead so it will have the click when shifting again. not sure how it will do in the long term, ive not got a chance to drive the car much, im waiting on some parts to arrive in the mail before i do much driving but once i get this stuff in an back on the car ill be able to put it all back together an actually drive it some an see how it does under actually daily use but as of now it seems pretty good. i may add a second hole for wiring so it doesn't have to be drilled by others. for the screws it uses m3 bolts to put to cap an body together.
