Damn... Oh well guess I'll have to get a short throw shifter at some point

I'm tempted to cut the top off of my UUC shifter and weld on some threaded rod so that I can run one of these *****. Any downsides to doing this?

Shady will do... I had an issue with the one they sent me it was the wrong thread pitch they are getting me out another asap pics will be up soon.

shadyLS6

probably none.. im pretty sure Brian, PISSNUOFF offers this service with his stock modded short throws. PM him ask him what he does to add threads

Has anyone driven one of Brian's shifters? I doubt many have driven both the KaLatch or the "pissinuoff" shifter to give an opinion on them but I figured I'd ask.

I chuck them in a lathe and use a thread die. I usually thread them 9/16-18. There isn't enough material to thread them any larger.

I just ordered a weighted ball from Flossy ***** (shopflossy.com) and asked if he could thread a ball to fit the katech shifter. He was going to build me one with the 5/8-18 threads so I will let you know how it turns out. I ordered a flossy shop grip tape heavyweight.

they were going to get a tap this week so I should have it in the next couple weeks.

I installed my jw winco ball and its amazing. I need to figure out how to get the ball to a brushed stainless appearance vs the mirror like appearance it has now. I also do not like how the boot sits. It sits similar to the OP I will post pics tonight. It is just like a long ball on a shaft as the boot forms to the shifter.

the mirror finish will tarnish and fade, i what ever finish you spray on make sure you clear it.

as far as the boot.. get as nut thread it on and put a washer over that, then slip the boot on and use a spacer to pinch the boot between the washer and spacer when the **** is tightened down. at least thats how i have mine set up and i love it

if you look at that old pic above, replace that big *** washer with a spacer of your choice and that's the way mine is setup now

shady could you snap a quick pic for me when you get a chance?

shadyLS6

how mine is set up... i like the little gap the spacer creates between the washer and the ****
1. the black spacer is an old bmx bar end -- first pic shows a smaller washer instead
2. silver washer
3. boot
4. silver washer
5. 5/8-18 nut
