Give us some ideas of what you want? I just picked up one today in the Philippines. It cost like $5 so I'm not too worried about it. I just know I want to get that stock POS offa mine as soon as I get it in my driveway. I can change it again later. For now, it'll have to do. It's just a sorta plain design. Silver with black "leather" around the sides. Says it's a "universal" fit. If it fits, good, if not, I'll probably use it for a paperweight.

yep, it fits perfect. It uses three set screws to hold it on. The rocks they use feel like they were made for your hand. They do get pretty cold in the winter though, my wife usually puts a glove over it

There will come a time when I replace the knobs with those from a M151.... I will find a way! And I'd like to make the shifter a bit longer while I'm at it.
