Had the '8' ball screwed and glued onto the spindley shift lever of my Renault Caravelle back in high school. To go along with it I had a plastic skull perched on the back shelf. How 'American Grafitti' can one get? Cheers, Craig

If someone was to be serious about mini shift knobs they would pay VERY close attention to the rubber isolation on the originals. I have been given beautifully handcrafted shift knobs that were intolerable because of the noise they gave off above 70 mph. This means they can't even be used in city driving.

I currently have a HURST style T shift on mine. sorry no pics. the pool ball will be great for the race car. Miniboo if you can do it for less then 10 plus shipping just put me down for the #9 it is because of color only it will match the car. and the extra large size will make it easier to catch while racing.
If it breaks, Improve it !

 There are plenty of pool ball shifters on e-bay. The first link gives you any choice of ball. The last three are extra. I have seen several Harley's that utilized pool balls for several uses. Suicide shifters, axel bolt tips, etc. Nice converstion piece for a motorcycle or a pick up truck, but I wouldn't think of it Mini. Perhaps a leather cricket ball or even a lawn bowling ball (4" . http://cgi.ebay.com/Pool-Ball-8-Ball-gear-Shift-shifter-Knob_W0QQitemZ200160624448QQihZ010QQcategoryZ418QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/1-STS-four-piece-leather-51-2oz-Red-cricket-ball-24hrs_W0QQitemZ260167868242QQihZ016QQcategoryZ72567QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem $10.99 http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10002_13484_-1 $11.99 http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10002_370808_-1 $9.99 http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10002_480732_-1 $9.99 Travis at Guantanamo "Mini - No need to compensate."

I like no shifter knob at all, and I sharpen the threads, driving a mini should be painful to fully enjoy the experience.
Actually I put on a coopersport gear knob and larger leather/ally steering wheel on the 65 and it makes it SO much nicer to drive, You don't have the stupid rubber tiny gear know moving about when you try to shift and the tiny steering wheel you have to yank around to turn.
peter No more cars left, Westpaminis is now just a memory, Good luck to all those hard working dealers left out there, We can tell you its not easy. We have fully enjoyed meeting all the fine folks we have in the business.

A billiard ball gear knob? Ooooh that's dead posh compared to a lowly pool ball. Are snooker balls for the middle class?

I have a real billiard ball knob on my MKIII.
Compared to a normal Mini knob, I find them to be a huge improvement to the original one. They give more weight to the gear level, which makes shifts more precise. Phil
