Kilduff lightning rods in factory console in an '86 442

[xitabl442]

I measured the rod at 13" from the floor to the top of the knobs, 7 1/2" above the console. I got the polished knobs and a black knob with switch for the trans lockup(not installed yet). I talked to Brian Kilduff himself when I ordered them, he gave me a nice-guy discount when I told him that I posted about them here. These are Awesome!

Thanks for measuring it.

Looks awesome!!!

How much of discount did he give ? I'm interested

Just a couple bucks off each knob, I think it amounted to the cost of one knob. Probably get the same price of you order the shifter with them installed.

I finally got around to making the trim plate for these. This is cardboard, the finished product will be aluminum.

I liked the plate on it, just saying.

No so pretty up close. I don't like the gaps around it.

This is a sweet setup! Any pics of your final setup?

A plate that had some vinyl lettering cut out for the PRN4321 and 1-2 ,2-3 & 3-4 and clear coated would look pretty slick! I'd like to do this for my Gbody in the future (like way future and hopefully these'll still be available when I get to it).

I really like them. They are alot of fun. I've been trying to post a pic but no luck. I have a friend that laser cut a top plate for me, but the edges are too unfinished yet.

My plan is to cut a matching plate out of 1/8 lexan and install it under the steel plate
Then illuminate it from the bottom so it lights up the edges of the gates. I'd like to think I could light the PRND321 the same way, but not sure yet.

Looks great, if they were a lower profile, I was gonna run those instead of the lightning rods.
