First let me say: "No, I will not make one for you, too much time and effort that I don't have. But....I may end up selling this one 
"
Ok now that's out of the way. After getting the TWM shifter base bushings I got a wild hair and decided to make a weighted knob to maybe improve the shift feel even more. Came up with a design and did a little math to find the angles needed and such and drew it up in a 3D CAD program to see if I liked the looks. Sorry no pics of the rendered knob. Took about 3 hours to make (Measure twice cut one!) with cutting on the lathe then filing the edges smooth and to drill and tap the hole. The finished product came out better, and heavier, then I thought it would be. Final weight ended up being 762 grams. That's more then 3 times the stock '07 knob at 237 grams. First impressions while driving are good definitely makes shifting much more effortless and takes out almost all the notchy feeling. But personally think it is too heavy for the stock shifter. With it being so high up there is alot of leverage and seems to almost counteract what you want sometimes. Don't get me wrong it feels awesome but I feel it would be better with a short shifter. Well since I wasn't planning on dropping the cash for a short shifter I am possibly thinking about selling this one to regain my cost in materials and time to make one out of a high grade aluminum to get a slightly lighter knob. I would just make a smaller one from the same steal as this knob but the size of this knob feels perfect for me. Who ever ends up with it will need to put some form of finish on it, being steal it will tend to rust. I was probably going to clear it but I'm going to leave it in case the next owner wants to maybe powder coat it or something. So if you are interested PM me an offer and It will go to the highest bidder.
Ok and now for the pics. The first one is a a pic is the stock knob for comparison and the last one is to show how it ties in with the silver button on the E-brake. Pics of the CAD drawing with the dimensions soon!
