Got some new material in today for a couple special orders. As some of you know, Delrin is a ultra strong plastic. So I made two shifter bushings sets out of Delrin. Id have to say, this stuff is just has hard as aluminum, its quite amazing stuff. But i would only recomend it for the highest of stress situations, the UHMW I normally use is probably a better material for the bushings I normally make, as it still has some give, unlike Delrin.

Introducing the ultimate boom stick short shifter, once piece design, including handle, no wiggles or wobbles. Definetly installing this on my project.

I like what you're doing Chedda, keep it up!
How long is this short shifter compared to stock?

Answers your question eh, also with the adjustable lower end (not shown in the picture) it will feel really short.
