How do you guys make a shift lever?

I lost my shift lever for my Tamiya Skyline R34 and can't seem to find it no matter what. And i do not have any modelling putty so is there any way to make an ok-looking shift lever with common materals?

p/s: I also lost my Brembo decals for the brake calipers and one of the GTR logo for the wheel. Such bad luck but luckily my friend is generous enough to spare me his GTR decal. i guess i can do without the Brembos

Tiny ball bearings also work.

wouldn't the pin head look too big and outta scale?

i'm thinking of using a soldering iron to solder onto a needle but not sure if it will give a nice round shape

I just poke a little hole there and then stick a little pin with the balls on the end of it in. Pretty easy.
