I knew that was you I saw driving through town today. The cars looking great, cant wait till all the water goes away though. I dont think the cold weather is completely gone yet but hopefully it doesnt last to much longer.

SKI

One you find a good switch alternative let me know I have the same problem. I think I might just go with a hurst T-handle with the button.

Will do. I put a lighted rocker switch and a push button momentary in the ashtray. I dont like the push button because I cant grab a gear if I need to while im holding the damn button. I checked radio shack and they dont have any small toggles that would fill the hole where my push button is. It might be ok the way it is now, only a track visit will tell. Im new to line locks so its gonna be interesting

Well heres what I think Im gonna do. In the thread I posted a guy posted a pic of his Hurst pistol Grip shifter. He drilled a whole into the top of the shifter and put a momentary button on the top. I think thats the way that Im gonna go cause I always palm the shifter so if I got something with the button on top I would always be on the button.

Heres the link
