YES!!!! Talk to me about that shifter too!!
I got it on ebay from CustomShifters (seller 4172wfc). Very pleased with the work. Tell this guy what thread size and pitch and he'll give you that plug. I think billiard balls are a little bigger than a normal shifter knob size, so it feels a little different but got some good weight to it and looks awesome (to me). $27 out the door for a custom shift knob.

Go to SickSpeed.com that’s where I got mine to replace the shift knob for my sm465 I had it with the L-1-2-3-R just go to that website and you can pick from several different options and can get just about anything you want for whatever particular pattern you have good luck to you

I had a red 3 billiard ball on mine for a few years but the sun finally turned it pink. I bought this q-ball and had my son who works for a machine shop mill in my pattern on it. I have always liked the feel of the bigger billiard ball as a shifter knob.
