Default Team Voodoo shift knob engraving alignment

I received this message today from a customer who recently ordered a shift knob but has not yet received it:

I have heard complaints that the S2000 logo on the top of the knob does not face the correct direction after being screwed on all the way.

As I told him, people who make this complaint must be suffering from a severe case of ADD, or they haven't taken the 30 seconds required to read the directions we email when each engraved knob is shipped

If you follow the very simple directions, alignment is not an issue, and in fact, you can align the knob any way you want. Here are those simple directions:

If you ordered the shift pattern or S bade logo engraving and it does not align properly when you screw the knob down, remove the knob, spread some blue Loctite (available at most hardware stores -- make sure you get blue, not red) on the shaft threads, screw the knob all the way down, the back it off until it aligns where you want it. Let the Loctite dry for an hour. This will hold the knob tightly in place under normal use, but enable you to remove it with a sharp twist of the wrist if you ever have to take it off.

Ummm,

Or you can just screw the set screw up the shaft a little bit until it locks.

My OEM TI knob did not align properly, and all I did was screw the set screw up until it locked. No biggie.

S2kRob, The whole point of the voodoo knob is that it is countersunk. When you screw it down all the way there is no way to use the set screw.
