ferrari style shifter
does anyone know if there is a kit to remove the shift boot and replace it with a machined piece of aluminum and then have a chrome shif **** and base? Something like what ferrari or lamberginis have ? Or is there a person whom can make this kit?

The piece of aluminum is probably an easy thing to measure as long as it doesn't interupt with the throw. You would have to find a chromoly polished stick. That..or you can get some one to polish the upper arm down to the metal. (possibly aluminum brushed?) Then you'd have to find a standard round aluminum shifter to screw on the top.
It's some work...but hey..it seems VERY possible!

i know a welder who is able to weld aluminum. I think the main problem would be getting the slot dimensions for the aluminum plate. If you had those it could be easily sent out to a machine shop and the cost would not be very high.

chrome **** = is 300 shift ****
and make sure the welded peice doenst interrupt with the throws, might be hard but good R&D is the best way. let me know how the final product ends up if it ever happens. i thought about this to but to much for me right now.

And....
Not to bore anybody here but.... On the Ferrari and other cars that use a gated shifter, the plate is mounted on the shifter tower which avoids shift throw alignment problems. The finishing panels of the Z mount to the sheet metal independently of where the shifter is. So there may be different measurements fron Z to shining Z. A way around this bugger is to mount the plate under the shifter housing. The plate will have elongated holes to allow it to float and correct positioning in relation to the shifter movement. But I haven't seen the top of the shifter tower of the Z so I could be fullacrap. My .02 dollars.
