Default Neat auto shifter handle

I like this neat auto shifter handle on the Austrailian 928 website. Does anyone out there have one? Do you like it? I emailed the guy 3 times but haven't recieved a reply. His name is Rick Heaney. Does anyone know how to get one of these handles.

Thanks

He is not far from me, if somebody else doesnt nudge him awake, I will. They have a nice action, good finish, simple operation. When mine dies, I will get one....in white. Maybe Not - shows dirt too much. The image on the landsharkoz site is animated....check it out.

Ooh, i like the no button approach. Clean!

Then again it is nice to take the shift lever/ button out of the car when i park it! Between that and my LH disconnect, its not going anywhwere .

I emailed him about this handle back in January and finally received a response last night. Looks like he may be awake now. Try him again.

Same problem here, e-mail in January was ignored but I sent him an e-mail a couple of days ago and got a reply today. unfortunately all he talked about was how to pay him for the shifter, 3 paragraphs explaining Paypal and money orders. Sent another e-mail today asking for more specifics on the installation, colors etc.

Hi,

I fitted one of Rick's shifters some 7 months ( 5k ) ago ( he lives at the other end of Australia from me - 2k away ) and his service was slick!

They are a breeze to use and extremely easy to install - 10 minutes

Buy it and you will certainly NOT regret it!

Pizza, he wants $120 for handle + $20 Aussie dollars for shipping, total $140.00 I think that converts at about .75 to USD, so close to $105 US dollars
