"T" Grip Shift ****
Does anyone know where I can get one of these? Hurst use to make them years ago and I love the looks of it. It fits perpendicular to the shift and fits the contour of your hand, great for power shifting with no chance of a slip.

They are sweet but I remember having one in Massachusetts years ago and in the summer they can get REALLY HOT. Since I now live in the middle of the Sonoran Dessert I think I'm going to pass as much as I hate to. I also have a 'vert and I think I might brand the palm of my hand with "Hurst" if I leave it parked in the sun with the top down which I do a lot.

I could be wrong but I don't think they are selling with the right thread pattern. Shouldn't it be a 9/16" 18 thread? The one above is metric and probably wouldn't fit. I guess you could tap it to the right size but that means buying a tap. My .02

I luv the T-handles also and had a heck of time locating one. Found one at a fleamarket/swap meet for 10.00. I drilled out and retaped the mounting threads to 9/16X18. Then I filled in the Hurst emblem and put 5 coats of Torch Red and 3 coats of clear on it. Turned out awesome, and I'm always getting comments on it. I guess because it's a bit unusual.

I went to a speed shop and bought a Hurst T handle, made sure the thread size was 3/8" or 7/16", brought it home drilled it out and tapped it 9/16" - 18. As far as I could find they don't make one with the proper thread size.
