You beat me to it. I bought a grenade shift knob from Autozone and put on mine and can't find the pictue I took to post it. It was chrome and I need to paint it.

That hokey stuff will not endear you to the LEOs. A grenade in the hand is a shoot to kill ticket here in the liberal Ted Kennedy land.

If you grind it flat a little on the side, your brazing will be better. I made one of those for a guy's M715 last summer. He wanted it so the spoon was facing the dash and the fuse end was next to the steering wheel. He got it.

Nice looks good, I'm working on brazing some threaded material ora nut tothe bottom of one to retain the fuse assembly for the tranfer case lever in my M1008. But still very cool.
I want to do the same on my M1008

It's a felony to have even a grenade that doesn't have any guts in it here in California....

RE: Gernade Shifter

We silver soldered a nut the size of the gear shift rod on the top of the pineapple where the fuse originally screwed in. There was a hole drilled in the bottem that was capped with arc weld and ground smooth.

I was afraid to keep the old fuse and spoon assembly intact for fear of Canadian customs officials. The inverted pineapple has a good feel to it and it seems to make it easier to shift. I'm going to also rig one on the transfer case shifter.

Reason number 3,456,284 I'll never move back to California!




Huh...and the whole time I was living in San Diego I had my grandfather's genuine WWII-pineapple-grenade-deactivated-war-souvenir sitting on my desk.

I've got one rattling around in my tool box.... I had it on a transfer case shifter once.
