That's hot.. where did you get the pic?
i belive from my chopper-thread, since i posted it there a few days ago.
i guess chances are zero to none to get one of the centrix stick shifters in the us.
they are from the 70's but never made it to the market back than due to patent issues. now they "just" got available in germany (maybe for 2 years now?) so i would be amazed if one already made it to the states and is for sale right now.
you should try to contact the owner of the webshop via email, here's the

i remember that someone said they sell the shifters seperatly. i could ask on a german board if the shifter is compatible with your hub
edit: using the search funktion on the german board was even faster... someone already tried the centix shifter on the 3speed nexus. it worked for him, but the marks on the shifter for 1, 2 and 3 didn't match with the timing when the hub really switched from 2-3. i hope you know what i mean. don't know how to explain in english, sorry
but how about the sturmey archer stick shifter?

i guess they could be available in the us, i you spend some time looking for them
just had a look at evilbay.com and here's a SA that looks almost like the centrix shifter:

the last option i'd know was a diy stick shifter. shouldn't be that hard to build when you use the original grip shifter and mount a lever to it.
