Looking for aftermarket shifter
Have a black momo racing wheel, and would love a shifter in the same look/ feel. Any ideas what is availble out there?
Cheers,
Magnus

I have a rothy shifter, its good!
I ended up useing a alfa leather boot, it has a press stud at the sop and fits perfectly.

My boot is folded back down into itself to expose the beautiful aluminum shaft.

Another view: The shifter is more finely milled and prettier than either of these images represent. It also improves the factory bushing and "fork" mech directly beneath the tunnel. Very positive and a shorter throw.

Looks like the shifter will be quite hot in the summer?

Nah. Been hard on track in 110* heat and never noticed. I do wear gloves, but they're the first thing off as I pull into the pits.

I have a aluminium shifter *** in my daily driver. Freezing in the winter and hot as hell in the summer.
