LF Fabricator to make a Hurst handle fit MGW Shifter

[08fordgt]

Subd to see the results. I've always used Hurst but I've heard that mgw's r awesome and I've been wanting to try one. But I just couldn't let go of my chrome stick and white ball. Lol.

I hear ya. I used to have the hurst on my Bullitt. It just rattled so much I couldn't take it. I can't seem to find a stock looking Bullitt aluminum knob with a TR-6060 pattern so my second pick is a hurst looking setup.

Cam, just use the 5 speed knob. The location of reverse can be your little secret.

I'm tempted but I'm overly OCD. Lol

What is the thread pitch for a stock Hurst shifter/ball? I am looking to buy a new shift knob and nobody seems to have a for sure answer.

Hmm, how come a bunch of sites only offer 12 x 1.25 and 12 x 1.75? Is that a hard thread to find "3/8"

AM sells an adapter that allows you to use a 12x1.25 shift knob on the hurst stick. I have one I don't need anymore since I got rid of the hurst, but if this handle turns out really nice I might be using it after all.

This is the look you were going for right Cam? LOL

Lol^ I thought about shipping the rod like that too.

Haha. No joke, about 5 years ago I was at the local Ferrari dealership and they had a 550 Maranello with a shifter that height.

Who doesn't want their shifter at face level...
