I saw that one, but $250 ? Is it because of the two custom lines that come with it compared to the others that don't for a $100 less ?

At the bottom of the picture is a Hurst line lock on my 84. Just by the adapter fittings at an auto parts store and bend your own premade lines. It won't cost you that much. Mine has been working for over 20 years with no problems.

Thanks, thats what I will most likely do, I can't see paying $250 for a couple lines and a bracket. and the guy doesn't even give us a forum discount .
