I'm pretty sure somewhere in a box or bin I have a reproduction Stielhandgranate . . . that gives me an idea for my car, if not for the shifter, to place in the 'glove box' . . .

Atlanta cutlery has these repro grenades too. that's where I got mine.
had to trim the bottom of the stick down a bit as 3rd gear "grenade-ed" the ash tray! Razz

http://www.atlantacutlery.com/p-1505-german-wwii-potato-masher-inert-stick-grenade.aspx.

Currently running an old "Hurst" T-grip I found in my tool box from the old days. I swap it out with a old Caterpillar ball shifter or the Stielhandgranate
when I do a show, the grenade is ok to drive with but reverse can be a challenge until you get used to it.
