I'm thinking of replacing my tired old plastic fitting off of my shifter and handbrake with a handmade wooden ones and that seems fairly straight forward but I'm also thinking to make clearance for a new head unit with a 7 inch motorised screen I'm going to have to make the shifter pole shorter by 2 to 3cm the question is can this been done without to many hassles or should i just put the car in neutral when i start up to make the screen clear the shifter?

lol nothing really just my first car and i had never done any metal work or paint or anything car related so it seems everytime i wanna fix or change anything i go about it the wrong way.

Do you have a lathe for metal work? I dont see why you can't machine it down re-thread it, I did something with a B&M shifter that is along those lines but not to a huge degree. give it a go choose the right wood and should look good and genuine 1 off. go for it end of the day if you stuff it up just get a shifter seeming everyone is "manualizing" there zeds should be a few around people be happy to part with???

my uncle has laths and ill be going there to make the handles and source the wood so i reckon ill do just that, ill put up some pics of how it goes, should be in the next week or so
