Looks good man, thanks. A little tip on photobucket though, use the "IMG" tags underneath each of your pics. Copy and paste that directly into your post and the picture will show right in the post instead of a link. Try it...

Also, keep in mind that the Delrin **** sits higher than other ***** and is best used in combination with a shifter with a very short throw and short shaft like a Hurst. I don't know how the MTI compares to the Hurst in this respect.
Do not attempt to use a Delrin **** with the stock shifter. You'll think that you're driving a semi.

Per my previous post, in this thread #12 http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...4&postcount=12
Definitly does not feel like a semi.

If you're thinking about going with the Delrin ****, just do it. They are THREADED and screw down onto the shifter shaft. This is FAR better than these other ***** that require keeping a set-screw tight to keep them tight to the shaft.
Good luck!

Me too. Although mine came apart at the seam, so I pryed it totally apart and used JB Weld on it and it has held up for 4 years. It is a nice solid shiftknob.

It is nice to become a supporting member no doubt, but as far as general management of all your pics & vids there is a huge difference with other sites like photobucket.com. I support the forum by buying products from the sponsors 
Thanks for the pictures and advice so far guys.

I put in a C6 **** from GS Creations over the weekend and swear its a good bit higher trhan stock was. Not sure if it will stay. Maybe I need to brake down and buy the shifter assembly from the C6 to complete the package.
How hard is that to install?
