Hey guys, just wondering if any of you have converted a hurst stick to work with an mgw shifter? kinda like this guy did, yea i know its a mustang but its the only one i could find http://forums.themustangsource.com/f...ersion-491509/
I love my mgw shifter too much to get rid of it but i do like the look of the hurst stick.. if any of you guys have done this id love to see some pics!
id love to see some pics as well, I got an old hurst stick, preety covered in surface rust but should buff out, before I go and buy a new shift ****, id like to know what the final product will look like
Did a little digging into this today. It'll have to be custom fabbed like the linked Mustang guy did. I've had the UMI short stick that's cut at an angle to bring the **** closer towards the driver and really liked it, so I'll have the Hurst stick welded to have a similar angle bringing the **** closer to the driver.
The Hurst stick you want is part number 538-7201. It's threaded for a 3/8"-16 *****, so it won't fit regular F-body *****. Many ***** including the classic style Hurst ***** are available with this thread pattern. Don't forget the retainer for the shift boot. It's Hurst p/n 1140015.
In the end, the goal is to have the old school look with the 1.75" Hurst cue ball **** (163-0081 or 163-0040) with the appropriate stick on the best shifter (MGW).
To make life easier for anyone looking to do this now, this listing has all the Hurst parts you need. Then you just need the MGW shifter and to modify the Hurst stick.
