Devon, the only thing I could think of where this would be practical....is if you are racing someone in 5th at 70pmh then hit the giggle juice button without downshifting lol
With the way I drive, sometimes I have my whole hand (palm) on top of the ****, sometimes I hold it like a Hurst handle type deal when I'm granny shifting/relaxed.
Well Sonic, maybe you shouldn't think up DUMB ideas and no one will be around to shut you down! OOOO OWNED
On the other hand, It would be hard to hook up a handle like that to an MGW, strickly design differance problems. Like stated above, the MGW handle slides over a cylindrical shaft and tightens with SHCS (socket head cap screws)....the one you want uses face to face contact with 2 bolts like the stock shifters do.
You could make some sort of adapter, but the way I see it happening is it would be offset on one side or the other of the shifter shaft or would sit very high. I know of a way to do it, but would be custom machined and too involved to explain on here (better off drawing a picture).
Let us know if you come up with anything.

^ahaha...hey if you are really serious about making this work with an adapter, I can sketch something out and send it to you...
hmmmm upon further sketching and thinking, it's going to be a little more involved to make this than I initially thought.
