I got a nice looking shifter rod (Skulls, but they have tribal, and such too) for $50 delivered from a guy on Ebay, No problems with it so far. Check ebay for chrome shift linakges

yes, the threads are both right handed. seems like one should be left handed to facilitate adjustment.

if you just want to keep the stock rod, you can get the heim joints off of ebay for about $8.00 pr (not chromed) from username racebasics.....
