Shift Knob that I made.

Here's something I made in 30mins at work with some free time just because i was bored.

And kinda dorky but I like it. kinda wish i could turn off/on my VSA with that button.

Its aluminum so it should be too bad.

And it was left over material, I didn't feel like programming anything.

Fair enough. You should maybe look into making this your second job or something. Maybe you can make custom shift knobs for people here on Azine. Looks like you have the skills for the job.

if you can build a sleeve to go over the existing shift lever, you can use the sleeve to hide the wire coming from the switch. Then wire it to your VSA button. Wiring is the easy part, just need a relay.

Neto, I'm guessing that button on the top is for the ejection seat, yes?

"Gear selector knob" no third pedal, no shift. And it's ugly.
