I finally got around to replacing my MGW gen 1 shifter with the gen 2 that had been sitting on my shelf for a couple of years. Like everyone else, I wish I would've done it long ago. While the gen 1 was much better than stock, the gen 2 is incredible.
Another piece that I'll be installing soon (also sitting on the shelf for a couple of years) is the JPC line lock. Since I know that'll be coming next, I was looking for the best way to incorporate the shifter ball with the momentary switch button that I got at the same time as the line lock kit. I didn't like the way it looked with the wire coming out of the hole in the shifter ball and then tucked into the boot.
Luckily, I have a friend with a machine shop that could help me out. He drilled out the center of the handle and bored a notch in the side to allow me to route the wire directly through it. I figured I would show some pics of how it turned out in case it helps someone else. I simply used some black caulking to fill the hole that SpeedDawg originally routed the wire through. I'm sure there's a more elegant solution for that, but it's not really visible anyway.
