Default gear shift extension accessory

Does anyone make the little crooked neck gear shift extension?

I’m sorry, misunderstood your request. I saw one of those shifter extensions on eBay last night. It is missing the small fitting at the bottom but pretty easy to make. I have one and love it!

Is this something that clears the instrument panel or gas tank when shifting into second? I have the temperature gauge mounted under speedometer and never had a problem until today.I had a gear shift tower that Snyders rbuilt for me with the reproduction shift lever and it cleared the gauge in second.Trying to figure out why I have trouble shifting to second and third gear I change it out today to a good used one,shifts better still not great but levers must be bent different this one will not fully allow into second because it hits temperature gauge. Either my used one is bent or not bent enough or repro ones,the foreign made chrome ones are bent back at a farther angle.

The reproduction ones only come bent in the 30-31 style which is bent 20 degrees as opposed to 15 degrees in 28-29. I suppose you could put a 30-31 lever on a 28-29 but not the other way around as you will hit the dash.
