Default Shift *****

I have a lathe and I am considering making some billit shift ***** to sell. I have a couple different ideas and open to much much more... Here are some of the designs I have been thinking about...

Just a simple one

Here are some pics of a shift **** I made for my truck for a cnc class to show the quality of work that I can do... However I don't have access to the cnc machines anymore so I can't do the logo in the top right now....

I would like to start making them out of Aluminum with the hope of opening up to more materials....

Price would be $55 not including shipping for the Aluminum... Shift ***** would come polished and tapped for M10x1.5 thread.

Looks great! And I don't think $55 is too much at all considering the cheapass ones at autozone are $30. I'm actually looking for something clean and simple like this to replace the factory ****. I had a few other ideas for designs if your interested

About how much would these weigh? Because a heavier **** makes for easier shifting correct?

I will need 50% up front so I can get some material ordered. Probably one week after I get material in I can have it done.

The Alumininum ones are pretty light... 0.63lbs other materials would be heavier. My brass **** is about 2.5lbs and it is quite heavy.. Have to watch sometimes when in 3rd or 5th that you don't hit bumps too hard. Although it is bigger in diameter than the ones that I show above.
