Default Billet Shifter Discontinued

Has anyone else talked to JHP? It seems as though the Billet Shifter has been discontinued. About a month ago the machine that made the base plates broke and from what it sounds like they will not be repairing that machine.

Looks like GMM will be the only option besides B&M type shifters.

Contact this guy on LS1GTO.com He modifies MGW shifters for the corvette to fit the GTO. I don't have one but I have been in a gto that has one. It is very close to the billet shifter in feel. If I am not mistaken you can also adjust the shifter height as well. I have been thinking about getting one to replace my GMM.

MGW-P does not have the billet feel, billet feels horrible (IMO). MGW-P is a very nice shifter, comparable more to the GMM, but a little bit nicer. It is the cheapest of the good shifters, but you may have to wait for him to produce them (1-2 months)

I like the billet shifter a lot because of how firm the shift is. I am dissapointed to see Billet go.
