Default Hurst T handle installed..Pics..

Installed my new Hurst shifter last week and finally got some pics. The Hurst Tee handle was always my favorite, and I thought a perfect match for the shifter. Since I couldnt find one new, I got a used one on eBay for $3.95, and I drilled it out and re-tapped it to fit...Whatta ya think....?

Right on! That's the way I am going to go also. I am going to find one a do a polish job on it. I like the high polish look rather than the brushed look. But that's me and your looks great.

Get a glove for summer driving. I had one of those T-handles on my old mustang and it got so hot in the summer, it was un-touchable. After getting burnt a few times, I ended up getting a leather shift ****.
