What is this part called? I am looking for one and cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone know?
Installed this today. Pretty cool but not perfect.

The part that slides in is too long. I had to drill a new Rpin hole, and shorten the rod. Works perfect, just have to find a knob now.

Where did the part come from? Been scouring, maybe my Google-fu needs brushing up on...
Looks like the one I used, It was M16 thread. Have a look at my write up when I replaced mine.Knob came in today. The rod should be here tomorrow. What thread adapters are you using? Took the knob to home depot and could not find a matching thread pitch in either SAE or metric. The threads on the knob are big but fine. Knob came with a thread adapter but not sure if it will work with rod yet, and it is plastic. Would prefer metal of course.

@billiebob, I did the exact same thing. I got a replacement shift rod when the first one was too long, and the replacement was just the same. I trimmed the second one just like you did, drilled a new clip hole, perfect fit after that.
Thanks for the help. Just got my shift handle and knob in. The knob came with plastic thread adapters that of course stripped upon installation. Went to home depot and the knob is probably M16 but it is not an M16-2.0 the knob threads are finer than the thread pitch at HD. Only went on about a half turn.Looks like the one I used, It was M16 thread. Have a look at my write up when I replaced mine.

That's what I ended up doing. I'm glad the angle is pretty good so I didn't have to adjust it. This is how mine looks installed. I might change my mind about the angle once I wheel, but happy for now.Big Sarge was kind enough to provide me with a link to Pastorscott's thread. Basically Pastorscott cut the OE handle off and welded a bolt on in its place that gives the right thread size for a different handle to thread onto. That's now on my to do list.
Where are you guys getting these new rods? Or are you doing the welding option?@billiebob, I did the exact same thing.

Is that fabricated or purchased?
where did you order the knob from ?Knob came in today. The rod should be here tomorrow. What thread adapters are you using?

I got mine (2, actually) on Ebay. The link to Ebay from my install posts no longer works, though, and a search may still turn up another seller.Where are you guys getting these new rods? Or are you doing the welding option?
