Good call. I thought the one I had gotten was for a smoothcase, guess what?
Same length as the one I took out, I didn't bother measuring as this one
isn't rubber-coated, it HAS to be original, right? Live N learn. Both are
1/2", measuring one side of the tapered section between these balls.
So, if someone has a presentable smoothcase shifter, now I need one of those
too.
