BIKEBOY Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) So I've always been a fan of the old school HURST levers in 60's and 70's Mustangs... I like the "tilted" back look. Also prefer the longer look. So I removed my FRPP gloss black lever and cut off the shaft and ordered this 5spd HURST lever off Ebay (it's the part# for the Fox bodied cars) and had it welded atop the cut off "nub" of the FRPP part. This is the finished product! Feels good, looks good, I just can't test drive it, cuz our weather still SUCKS!! EDIT- BTW, the pic shows the lever in "neutral" to give you an idea of how I wanted it to "feel".

Robert M Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I like the old school Hurst stick look also. Nice! R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) BTW - If you ever need a hood for your car, I have my original Torch Red w/Black stripes hood that was removed with 8.3 original miles and boxed at Shelby when my car was at the Mod Shop.

Cdvision Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Looks great!! I did that mod a couple years ago on my 2010. Much easier straight bolt in on the 2010+ cars. Edited March 9, 2015 by Cdvision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
