skiph Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 There is a adapter on ebay that's where i got mine from. here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1438.12649 Appreciate the link. But....uh...."Immediate payment of US $522.95 is required" seems a little steap. I went to http://sickspeed.com/pages/mustang.html and looks like it is 22.95 there. But would be nice if all in one package for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickshelby Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I just wanted to point out that I did meet with him personally and tried to contact him and received zero response. . .so we moved on to another supplier. The Shelby pieces are made in the U.S.A. MADE IN THE US! Bravo! Sick of these "Made in China" stuff... But I know they are everywhere including on our OEM GT500...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 MADE IN THE US! Bravo! Which is also part of my thinking that they are MGW items. Which would be a GOOD thing. MGW makes quality shi....stuff. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiph Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hi Robert, just a quick follow-up any experience of thoughts on a shift boot adapter for those of us with stock GT500 shifters? I know you probably can't comment on another manufacturer's product. All I've found so far is the "Shift Boot Adapter" about half way down the page and any thoughts and comments would be welcome and appreacted to make this spot-on perfect! Oh, have I mentioned I love this car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbj Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 We will be offering black/white, black/red, grabber blue/black - GT500KRs and others too. Others too. Yeah, Grabber Blue with white stripes and maybe a catch all generic type with just the Cobra or something for us soon to be GTS types and others.

FiaCobra Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 These are not made by SpeedDawg, however, we did reach out to him (and met him) to make these for us, however, he never followed through. They may be able to make custom ones, but they cannot use Shelby markings. We will be offering black/white, black/red, grabber blue/black - GT500KRs and others too. Awesome !

The Shelby pieces are made in the U.S.A. Hi Robert, I just wanted to comment that I think that knob company is crazy not to respond and do this for Shelby! I already tried asking Shelby a couple of years ago if there was any interest in the knobs I was designing and got a No. I will still be making them for mine still looks different compared to everyone elses, but I will say that those look really nice. Job well done Shelby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustangmike66 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I received mine today. All I can say is it is awesome! One problem though. I assume the factory knob unscrews? I feel like I'm going to twist the transmission out and it won't budge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustangmike66 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 After doing a google search, I found that I just have to keep unscrewing. I grabbed a ginormous pair of channel locks and a chunk of rubber. I wrapped the factory knob with the rubber and started to unscrew. My gt500 didn't want to give her up, but she finally gave in. The factory uses red lock tight - and man was it tight! The factory knob came off with the aluminum sleeve pressed in. I then put the new grabber blue knob on. It looked out of place without the sleeve. I knew I had to use the aluminum sleeve to make it look right. I placed the sleeve in the vice (wrapped with a rag) and pulled. It came out of the knob easily. I ended up taking all of the knurled portion of the sleeve off except maybe 1/16" of an inch. I slid it on and had to adjust the nut a few times before getting it just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 If you take a blowdryer to it for a bit and heat it up, that will help aid you in taking it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks nice,and looks like it is on a stock shifter and shift boot, correct? So all you needed was what came with the new shift ball? Oh, and what year is your Shelby? Starting to look like I'm not going to need any other adapters, etc to make it look clean and OEM with the new shifter ball on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustangmike66 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 The ball is screwed onto a steel shaft. The aluminum piece you see is a decorative sleeve to hide the shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svt13 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 The ball is screwed onto a steel shaft. The aluminum piece you see is a decorative sleeve to hide the shaft. I see. So shouldn't this ball just screw onto the steel shaft without having to get any new pieces or stuff like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 The Shelby pieces are made in the U.S.A. Speaking of which; my key chains from SAI are made in China. Then again, these are parts versus a key chain. These are awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Chase 1128 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Looks great. If you will provide a red ball with satin silver for the 40ths, we'll buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
