Thumb shifter for a Nexus 3 speed?

[Dr. Tankenstein]

I'm thinking about upgrading my cruiser with a Nexus 3 speed.

I was wondering if there's a thumb shifter I can use vs. a grip shifter?
I know it's got to be an index unit and not a friction type, right?

Any ideas?

Cheers,

And I have my 3spd nexus on a Schwinn neck mount friction shifter, only taken it for bout 2 miles but it works.

I have a nexus 3 speed shifer that came on my latest project. I put suicide shifters on all my builds so you can have it. I'll head out to the garage in a few, take a pic and send it over.

Here's a pic- it's in perfect shape and has index shifting just covered in bondo dust. They do (did) make a 3 speed thumb friction shifter- cafe cruisers from the 80's and back.
I can disconnect with cable attached and send it to you this week- let me know.
