Kite stakes as shifter handles

[NicksGarage]

I don't have anything yet with a stick shift but I've been checking out what others have done and seen some interesting ideas. I fly a lot of kites and I use several different kite stakes. One of my favorite kite stores has these neat billiard ball stakes and I've got a couple of them and thought they would make a cool shifter handle. These are not full size billiard balls but 1 1/2" diameter.

Those are pretty cool and would make great shifters and the price is nice.

I used a 7 ball drawer pull for my Flexy shifter and I think it was the same diameter pool ball as those kite ones.

I'm sure they're probably from one of those kid sized pool tables.

Yeah, that's what mine came from originally.
