What shifter is this?
Trying to identify this shifter that was removed from a C5, but am not getting anywhere. Anyone have any ideas? No numbers or markings on it whatsoever, all I can tell is that it's made of billet aluminum.

It would appear to be from BREATHLESS PERFORMANCE (BPP). Here's a picture directly from their website...

FYI, only two shifters that I'm aware of (for C5) offer removable bolt on levers. One is BPP and the other KIRBAN. Both have their die hard followers. They can be adjusted by angled wedges between the stub and lever, and the lever can be turned in either direction. The lever can be mounted to either side of the stub. And both also allow for other after market levers to be bolted to the stub. The threaded portion of the lever is 9/16-18"...

MGW also has a bolt on lever. You can opt for a C5 lever with C5 threads, a C5 lever with C6 mounting, a C6 lever with C5 threads or a C6 lever with C6 mounting.

You're correct. I forgot about their new shifter. Although, theirs uses a clamping collar type arrangement, a little different than BPP and KIRBAN design.
