I have a Hurst Competition Plus shifter linkage installed on my Toploader 4-spd. by the previous owner when the car was restored about 15 years ago. All the emergency brake equipment was removed some time in the past. When I moved from MI to PA a few years ago I reinstalled all the emergency brake cables and brackets. While doing this, I discovered the backup switch was a cobble-job (plastic door switch and a lot of electrical tape
) and interfered with the emergency lever. So I took the backup switch off and temporarily installed a flip switch under the dash.
Being the perfectionist I am (well, not really, but I'm trying to do this right) I ordered the correct Hurst backup light switch and bracket. Guess what? Yep - I can't mount it because it too interferes with the emergency brake lever... :angry: :bang: As far as I can tell, the emergency brake lines are all installed properly, correct brackets, etc.
Is there something I'm missing with these Hurst comp plus linkages in 4spd Mustangs?? :scratch:

And does anyone know the correct thread for a standard Mustang 4spd shifter shaft? The Hurst shaft was cut and a standard Mustang shaft welded on to retain the "stock" look. If I pull off the ****, is there anything special I should know about the reverse-lockout?
