Has anyone had experience cutting the top off of a Hurst white ball shifter and hinging it back on so you could flip it open and have a "go-baby-go" type button hidden inside the shifter ball? Seems to me there might be a market for that.
I know that you can get a black ball with the button on top or a white one on the side, but I am thinking about a hidden one.

George - Please don't drop me from the list if you can't get ahold of me right away. I'm going to be travelling the next 7-9 days, headed back from Iraq. Once I'm home, I'll call you with payment info. Again - thanks for including me on this 1st order.

we have not released the shifter yet so that is why nobody has called but we do have your orders if you called and got on the list. i will post on this forum when we are actually ready to go.
here is what i would do...
if you know you want the shifter at this point go ahead and call in and give ALL your info to my sales staff. address, phone number, method of shipping and credit card info. that way when the shifters are actually ready to go yours will ship the soonest.
if you are not yet decided but are on the list we will be calling you when we are ready and then you can make the decision to buy or not.
if you are not yet on the list...well lets just say after this morning you better hurry!!!!!!
i will NOT be offering both handles for this price as i cannot afford more of a loss on this initial run. but i will offer the 15 percent off the handles as well. the handles alone will sell for about 15.00.
also note that i will be offering a mgw gripper ball that will thread onto the hurst so if anybody has bought one of my gripper ***** for the 2005 mustang already you can mail it back and we can swap out the lower shank to the same threads as the hurst ball for only 5 bucks. then you can swap out the hurst and mgw ***** all the time on your mustang.

And should I enclose a check to cover shipping and the swap?
Thanks,

i am assembling the shifters now and i am only waiting on 1 piece now to be molded. we should have this piece in by end of the week so my plan is to start making calls monday and hopefully start shipping monday or tuesday.
also, the only parts that require reusing from the stock shifter are the polyurethane bushings that are actually on the linkage bracket at the bottom.
but i am having my own made since i do not like the design of these for our shifter. they may or may not be ready in time to ship out. if they are not i will still be including them in the shifter kit and they will be mailed out when they come in. if you want to wait until they come in just tell my sales staff when they call and your shifter may be held up a week or so at the latest.
also, i am including in the kit some extra material to actually solve the ebrake buzzing problem too. i popped my ebrake apart and put a few small pieces of the material we use in the shifter kit and it really helped the buzzing from the plastic cover on the ebrake handle.

Me too! No sense in buying a "no compromise" shifter and then improvising with the stock bushing. I don't want to pull it out and re-install the MGW bushing later either. I'm willing to wait.
However, George, I've got a six pack riding on the fact that you have these shipping by month's end. Am I gonna regret betting on you?
