A buddy gave me this shift ball today and the clear plastic over the shift pattern is all cracked/ crazed. The cracks do not appear to go all the way through and actually look like surface cracks but not sure?
Has anybody got any first hand experience fixing these? Or is it even fixable? Clear plastic replaceable? Look for another shift ball? Any help appreciated  |

Thanks all for the info and opinions. Looks like 3 for and 3 against. Tried sanding for a bit and they are deeper than expected. Tried the super glue and could not get it to go down into the cracks and just ended up with super glue finger. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Really liked the comment that it was the worst he had seen in 43 years working with acrylics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) As for time I just thought being original in might be cool to use so gave it a shot. May run it for a while as is and decide. |
