I would love to find a way to mount a beer tap handle as a shifter knob cause my stock one is starting to get pretty beat up somehow. Any suggestions on how this could be accomplished??

I have actually done this before. I had a 1959 VW Bug and the shifter was threaded. I took a tap and matched it up....walla!!!!

had to share this...I was just typing and instead of shifter I typed shiter....it looked wrong but took me a minute to figure it out. LOL

Being that i used the same "handle" for both my dual tapped kegerator and my shifter.....you can say my shifter is a tap handle.

hot glue. hot glue fixes everything

I finally found a suitable shift knob, Had to drill out the threads on the inside so it would fit over the shift handle, worked out pretty good i guess, I could shorten it, but I wanna leave it so I can go back to stock whenever possible.
here's the result

Alright....but budweiser?

 

[radamrocker]

It was that or BudLight, not too much out there I could find in a short version.

The Koup is a beautifully designed automobile and deserves better than that.

I tend to disagree, the stock shifter is a piece of shit. And this is in my eyes is an upgrade. might not be your choice of beer, it isn't my best choice either, I just like this tap in this situation.

Why do you say it's a POS? I have had my car for 11 months now and it still looks like new. If you are driving automatic like I am then there really is no reason for the stock shifter to wear poorly, you are only putting it in drive not moving it around like manual shifting] and the way the shifter is made you should barely come into contact with the silver painted area.

I say it's a piece of shit because it is. 2 weeks into having the car the shifter starts to peel. Pretty shitty in my opinion, and I don't use manual mode. Many people have had this issue with the paint peeling.....

I thought that was hot candle wax, chocolate, and whip cream........

Why didnt you simply have it serviced under warranty?

 

[radamrocker]

Why so they can put the same shit one back on???
