Shift Knob Threading where to go..?
-
I have a Voodoo shift knob I want to put on a Miata short shifter. The Shifter comes in 2 pieces and I just wanna use the bottom 1/2 but the threads are different and its a bigger diameter. Anyway where is a good place to go to get this done like Bergs Machine Shop? Anyway just looking for some suggestions on where I can get this done.
Thanks

Actually Jeremy, You should be able to do it yourself. If the hole is smaller than the shifter that is. All you need is the correct thread pitch tap and possibly a drill bit (if the difference is alot). But usually it just involves retapping the threads to the correct pitch. You may need a bench vise at most to hold onto the knob.

Ya I thought about that, but I bought the pearlized knob and I really dont wanna mess it up. So I figured if I brought it someplace that does this kinda stuff they could prolly do a better job with out marking up the knob. Then again these days bringing anything to the "Pros" is not alway a guarantee it will get done right either. Thanks for the input Wes.
