I've never had any problems with the **** coming loose.

I really like this **** but couldn't find the vendor on here to buy one. Or if anyone is looking to sell theirs.

I would be interested if you ever get rid of it.

Sounds good, I'll keep you posted. I have a couple thoughts of the direction I want to go in but we'll see what happens.

RexHavoc - how did you do the reverse blue stitching?

Did you have to remove the small metal trim piece with the shift letters on it, or the whole wood grain piece?

Do you have pictures or instructions on how to do this?

Thanks.

You might want to check out a Momo shift ****. That's what I used. Check the DIY. It should be in there if memory serves...

Had some trouble getting the whole thing lifted out but once I figured it out it went quick. The whole piece needed to come out them you unscrew the bottom and pull the leather boot out. You'll need a zip tie to put it back together as well. I think it took about 4.5 hours from start to finish. That was on pain meds so maybe a little longer or shorter?

Thanks anyway.
