you need to make a collar and place it under the boot to raise it.

you know those plastic packaging rings that comes with wire shelves? i keep those cause it's perfect for making those collars.

hahaha.

Home Depot or Lowe's. It's called a ballcock shank washer, I believe

DeEePiDDy's 09 Chicane Yellow 370z Journal

and here is a nice DIY for it

yah, but he first needs to raise the boot from under and then use either the modded shank washer or the metal finisher edub posted.

damn, i can't find a pict online of the plastic packaging collar for wireshelves.

they work perfectly for this.

Nice Shift Knob! Is that TWM A6 Leopard?

I always wonder how big they feel in your palm. PWJDM V2 is too small for me.

kenchan · 10-11-2013, 04:45 PM

yah, i had the v2 myself, beemaz. i didnt like it. it slipped out of my hand too many times going into 2nd and 4th due to the egg shape at the top of the knob.

i run a TWM TypeR (biggie) now.

pretty much a flat top with nice radius. weight is nice too.

it's actually a team voodoo pearl knob. has a clear coat over the metal, which is nice for 2 reasons,

1) no bare metal in hot sun
2) matches the interior silver perfectly

best knobs for the price imo. can find em here

(anything threaded for a miata fits our cars)

I just put zip ties underneath and it holds it up now.

In your first pic, remove that plastic ring at the bottom of the thread. I have this issue with my PW:JDM shift knob. Felt dumb afterwards. Even when I have the collar on it still sat fairly high.
