Black Cue-Ball Style Shift ****??

With the recent install of my short shift lever...being an old school American muscle car guy, I am interested in one of these `old school` cue ball *****. Does anyone have a cue ball on their stock or aftermrkt short throw lever? This company advertises on Ebay and that the opening is `universal`. Universal to me is a large threaded hole with bushings to adapt to smaller threaded shafts. Our levers are flat blade type levers. So, I don`t know what they mean by universal fit with an allen set screw?

With the new location of my lever, I would really enjoy one of these *****, as long as I could incorporate it somehow with the stock boot as well?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey all!!! Good day...

While surfing Ebay Motors last night, I found the next best thing to get my cue-ball fix...

This NEW TechArt silver alloy ball and boot. What's better yet, is I have a gray interior?!!! SHWEET!!

...and only $199.

In a week or so, I should be selling off my stock **** / boot if anyone needs an ABSOLUTE PERFECT stock replacement??? Not as much as a scratch on it! 6speed 'S' / black boot.

That looks like a much better choice to me than a cue ball.

986_c6 is on a distinguished road
I had a custom flameball made for my 06 Vette...definitely muscle car feel.

I wasn't really sure about cue ball on the boxster, but the techart piece definitely makes it fit a european car better.
