You can weld up the lever and have it rechromed. I would also shorten it. I like it shorter Rich Sent from my iPhone

Perhaps but you're likely to wear down the fingers because the shifter is a harder material. That said, my chromed gate is worn to a point between 1st and 3rd gear and I'll be installing my 3rd shift lever since I've owned the car (2004) as part of the restoration. Still haven't decided if I'm going to spring $105 for Wilkinson's gate.

I have both and both look good. Is the aluminum better because it is a soft metal and won't scrape the shifter? Thanks Ken
