That tool is already quite nice! I have to do mine soon, we'll see what I can come up with! It's more practical on the boxster you can take the whole assembly out 
I finally started the lathe!
It works great! But the tools I bought are too small... The point is too low... I'll just buy better ones!
I'm also done with the basic design of the "new shifter". It will cost more, of course, but if I can make it work with the gate it will be worth every penny!
As soon as I get some money back I'll order some shifter and start a new batch

The lathe works great!
I ordered the base shifters! I'll try new, bigger ball bearings, we'll see!
If you cant one, you can send me a PM.
But it won't be available until a few weeks at least! The time I need to receive the shifters, bearings and other stuff
I also ordered the prototype for my other project, if it works good, I'll work on the gate to replace the boot

1ST gen shifter
Ben I am sure the second generation will be even better.
For anyone that might be interested in a 1st generation with new cable ends I have listed mine in the Boxster parts classifieds. I never installed mine  and will be looking at selling my boxster in the near future.
Apologies if this is considered an inappropriate post for this thread. Just thought some of you might be interested.
Mario

Still stuck at customs...
They suck!
I installed one on my car and made a video on how to get to it, I just have to put the video together
I also gathered almost everything to make the new style shifter! It's gonna be nice!

Thanks,

Finally some good news! They will send me another package full of shifters, and hopefully this one doesn't get stuck for ever at the customs!

Ben,
Converting raw material into finished product at last.
Congratulations on your triumph over logistics and bureaucracy !
It may help if you explain (again) the difference between this version of your shifter and the First Edition?
I have the last of the First Edition shifters. It works very well and improved slightly after the first few hundred gear changes.

I was so happy when I received the tracking update!
Well, this one is like the last ones. Four ball bearings instead of bushings, and a needle bearing in the lever. I don't use pennys anymore! I finally found the perfect washer, cheap, strong, and the right size!
Turning the parts myself on my lathe is so much faster than waking up at 5AM to bring the parts to the machine shop before 7AM and getting them back after a week...
I'm not as good as the machine shop, but I've controled all the parts before assembly
It also motivated me to continue my upgraded shifter...
Doesn't look too good right now, but wait until it's coupled with a gate

I’m sure I’m asking something already here somewhere, but what is the cost for one of these masterpieces for a 2000 Boxster S, and what is the lead time?

Hi!
The new price is 115€ shipped to the US
They are readily available (well, almost, I have enough available until I have the time to make more).
