Default Hurst shifter

I seem to recall forum discussions of using a muncie look-alike hurst shifter. Can anyone point me to the source of supply and part number? Thanks,

the look-a-like C2 shift lever that bolts directly to the Hurst shifter is available at most aftermarket Corvette specialists. Seek and ye shall find.

Don't know about the C-2 Hurst shifters with the replacement/stock looking handle but on the C-1's using that set-up there is an obvious difference. The handle is too tall and just doesn't look right.

William,

ZIP has this one for your '65...64-67 4-spd Bolt-On Shifter Shaft

http://www.zip-corvette.com/ProductDetails/ProductDetails.aspx?pid={adfe4662-bd4b-4521-9a99-bbaa868ab57e}&gid={1c173ee9-4f27-4626-86a6-9132de3cc65e}&GroupName=OE-style+Shifter+Shafts&pname=64-67+4-spd+Bolt-On+Shifter+Shaft&Referer=&Alias=&ptct=SG R-SR&CTitle=&

The reverse lock out is spring loaded like the original, but does not actually lock reverse out.

Good luck... GUSTO

Try using the repro original style boot with the wire reinforcement. Im using the old style Hurst shifter in a 62 and the fit is perfect.

So what you guys are saying is that the repro version of the original with the metal spring around the hole will allow it to stretch and fit snug over a rectange Hurst shifter. Right? Hope so because I really like the way it doesn't stick up like other boots.....looks neat and tidy.

If your Hurst shifter has a handle attached with two bolts, the "look-alike" reproduction levers shown above will bolt right on. If your existing Hurst is an older one where the lever is welded on, they won't.
