Has anyone turned ski bindings into the shift knob of a manual vehicle?
Haha, funny thing is I need a new knob for my 98 4runner. I’ll try making one with an old heel piece and I’ll post it in here if it ends up working out.

SofaKingSickskiing's cool but i'm more of an F-22 guy so this is what i have in my '97 Reliant Robin
I used to work on fighter jets, there was always stories of people retrofitting sticks into gearshifts. You'd be surprised at what would slip through supply system cracks
hdubsLmao the best part of this is that it's in a reliant robin. The car the furthest possible distance from being a fighter
Actually not true. Fighters are designed to be inherantly unstable so they can maneuver faster. The Robin is one of the most unstable cars out there. Also it's small and probably very easy to retrofit with armament
It’s going well I just need to take off the pressure arms. Anyone know how to remove these?
once I get them off in am going to sand the paint of the heel piece and polish it.

I never thought of in that way. But unlike a fighter jet they tend to roll away from the turn, not with it
freeskibum82Drill the head of the rivet off. Do you plan to paint this? not gonna lie, the shape of this will be strange for a manual shifter.
Agreed, as someone who tracks their car shift knobs can make a huge difference (at least for me) but it would be dope for some daily driving and ski hill clout.

Angle grinder would be pretty easy. Then could flap it smooth and paint it if you wanted could probably borrow one from somebody or they start at like 15 bucks at harbor frieght.
