Looking for someone to fabricate the lower end of a Hurst shifter stick to work in a MGW shifter.

Basically I want the stick to look like this with 5/8" roundbar to fit into the mgw shifter hole.

I would like to have two of these made. I will supply the shifter sticks or I'll pay you for the cost of the sticks/labor to fabricate them.

Thanks.

I've ordered the levers and got them for $28/ea (IIRC the ball is like $40~) I'll maybe send 1 to Hamilton and then 1 to GrnB to see who makes it better. Friendly competition? lol

Nice, whatever you would like to do. I weld & fabricate stainless components all the time.

Try searching on this p/n 5387201 and you will find lots of options in the $30 range.

^what he said. I just looked over the internet. eBay prices were stupid expensive, especially since I couldn't find a seller who would combine shipping for some reason. They wanted like $8/per lever for shipping.

If my only option for buying an item is eBay then I'm not buying it. I have discontinued doing business with a couple vendors in the past because they went to a 100% eBay format.

I would be super interested in this as well. I'd like to use the Hurst lever with my MGW ball or perhaps that Ford Racing ball pictured above.

Brian, correct me if I'm wrong. I think he means that they have disband their personal ecommerce website/marketplace and only sell via eBay. eBay's fees are ridiculous.

I have been working at putting up a webstore for take off parts and accessories in our Ford and Chevy stores but I don't want the fees to make the venture a pain in the wallet.
