Jackfit, do you know which handle number you have? I would like it curved back a little but the handle that came with my shifter is straight and only about six inches tall. If nothing else could you measure the height of yours from the top of the mounting point to the ****?
I could post a couple of pics if interested.

I went ahead and ordered a 8" tall replacement stick (Hurst 5380015) that has a rearward curve to it. It will not hurt if it is a little taller.

It will be a few weeks before I get around to this as I am also swapping the hard clutch that will facilitate an easier shifter swap. I'll report back afterward.

I finally got a new clutch (much easier on the leg) and the Hurst shifter installed. The handle is now at mid thigh in 2nd/4th gear. I am happy with where it sits and shifts very easy except reverse is a little tricky for my wife.
Here are photos of it in reverse and 2nd gear. I have no idea why the photos are 90 degrees off.
