Thread: looking for a 18" chrome gear shift lever

Tweet

I need the chrome gear shift lever that goes on a Daytona Performance floor shifter. 18 inches long, sort of S shaped, and threaded at both ends. I can't see spending $70 for a new kit, just to get the shift lever. All I can find are Shorty Shifters, and they are too short for a pick up (6"-9"). If you've got one for sale, or if you can tell me where I can buy one, it would be appreciated.

Looks like you'll have to get some round bar stock, thread it and bend it yourself. Then have it chromed.

Hey Tech,
That was my first thought. I don't have any welding equipment, so bending would have to be done by brute force. Chroming here is very expensive for one item, cheaper in bulk. I had a friend offer to make it for $20, then I could have it chromed. I can't see paying $40 for a home-made item when I can pay $10 for an over-the-counter item. The name of the company that makes the shift kit is Daytona Performance or Custom-Fit, but I can't find anything on the net about them.
