Shifter T-Handle
I know you guys prefer the Hurst or ZF Doc's short throw shifter but until then, thought I would try ZR1Mike's T-Handle advertised on the registry site.
I was pleasantly surprised. The polished stainless steel is like a jewel and "handlebar" type grip is more comfortable to me than the "knob."

Re: Shifter T-Handle
What is the advantage of the stainless over the aluminum? Appearance? Sweaty hand corrosion resistance? Does the aluminum make your hand black after a long day? I like it. I have a birthday soon too.

Re: Shifter T-Handle
I haven't seen the aluminum but prefer stainless for the reasons you gave plus it won't scratch as easily and I was planning on polishing it. As received, the finish is literally glass-smooth so I didn't have to do anything to it. The font used for the ZR-1 engraving appears to be accurate too.

Re: Shifter T-Handle
Happy with the shift quality with all that added weight?
My old shift knob rattled, finding a new one turned out to be much more of a chore than expected. |

Re: Shifter T-Handle
You're right it is a quite a chunk of weight.
With salt back on the roads again this week in Pittsburgh I haven't had a chance to drive it more than a few miles last weekend so hard to say yet if it really effects shifting. I do like the "knuckles up" hand position. It comes with a couple of set screws so that you can clock the position to your preference. I wasn't thrilled about marring the shifter shaft with the set screws so I bought some replacements with brass tips. (#10-24 thread)

Received the SS T-handle from Mike today. Outstanding workmanship. Finish is so shiny I’ll be needing sunglasses for daytime driving. If you are like me and prefer T-handles you’ve got to have one of these fine pieces. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry
