I have really enjoyed my MGW ****. Mine is the old version which I think they do not sell any more, but new ones look good too. Their website have pics.

Hurst shifter ball or T handle
I went with the original Hurst T handle from zrchris ( a forum member), who also sells the Hurst 2" black and white shifter ball that he threads to fit the C5 (9/16-18 steel tapcert.)

My T handle has holes bored to perforate it to keep the weight down . Its powder coated black.

Which is why we have the Delrin *****, because they do not transfer all of that heat and burn your hands in the summer.
Shown here on a stock shifter, a Hurst or similar will lower that a bit.
Same **** that is used in the race cars.
