On this thread (bad pun intended), what's the spacing of thread on the shifter, 10mm or 12mm?

Thanks, Rick. Because everyone else is thinking "high mass," I'm considering a Levoc ER-9. It's a carbon ball; can't weigh much. Just kind-of-a different drummer thing. I'd just as soon buy it from you if you have a relationship with Napolex or Levoc.

Rick, I'm amazed at how quick you answer these threads. Awesome.
As for the magnum, I actually was going to write to Bob because I didn't see it offered on your site but if you can arrange something, count me in on a spun titanium magnum knob. He has one shown on the web site for the Miata and it looks perfect. I have very large hands and this knob would be just right for me. I had a similar knob on my Contour SVT and it made shifting such a breeze. The added weight really does make a difference. I went with a B&M Hammer on my Camaro SS and I swear, from that point on, there was never a missed shift. The stock Hurst leather wrap is a lightweight compared to that T-handled Hammer. My Miata also had a magnum Voodoo and it was awesome. This is one area of my sportscar where I don't mind having some weight. Well, that and the 115-lbs from my girl with that black hair blowing in the breeze!

These are some great shots and I am very happy to see the differences! Very mice indeed!

Here's the comparative data on the magum knob versus regular Team Voodoo knob

The aluminum magnum is the same 2" diameter and weighs 175 grams compared to 150 for the regular.

The neck diamter for all magnum knobs is .875" compared to .75 for the regular.
