hell yeah boieeeeee.  made my own too, also chopped the shifter down
with a hack saw and put a heavy metal knob (why yes, it DOES have AC/DC
stamped on it....) on it, feels great.  for the weights on the rod i
just used two very heavy bars of steel i found, duct taped them very
tightly and put 3 hose clamps around that.  ugly!!!  who cares, you
can't see it!!  total cost of complete short shift system:  $8.00 for
shift knob...
