Hurst handle to MGW conversion

That looks great!
I think the big difference is that when you put the Hurst handle on the MGW the handle sits back alot further because of the design of the MGW having the handle towards the console.
#1 Hurst shifter and handle
#2 Hurst handle on MGW shifter

I prefer it with the MGW and sitting back more towards the Console.
Very Nice !!!

Thanks.
Narrowing the Hurst stick prior to welding the 5/8th bar allowed me to drop it that extra 3/4" to make it even with the console. It still retains the full adjust ability of the MGW setup (height, right left position, etc), just has a nicer looking stick/ball combo.

No Rich, I hadn't fogotten! I'm just following my normal MO of taking much too long to get around to the important things! My thanks to you for the idea and the handle. I have George at MGW to thank for installing the shifter (there is a story behind this). By the way, the ball is from Grabberpony in Dark Highland Green (this is another story).
I really like the handle and the shifter--an almost perfect combo IMHO.

Hi Rich,
Well Buddy I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the Hurst Conversion you did for me some time back.
It is now in a Buddies 08 Bullitt here locally that I run around with.
He is now really enjoying it as he has now got to drive some with it.
Your Time and Effort has not gone to waste.
I just had Brenspeed do a complete change in my Bullitt to the Auto Trans.
See below Pic.

Hey interested in this...
Is this the shifter handle your talking about?
It says it doesn't fit OEM... but will it fit the hurst handle it sells with?
And does the ball have the hurst logo on it?

Not quite sure I'm following you...
I just purchased the MGW shifter, and obviously by the thread contents I want to use the Hurst Shifter handle and white (logo'd) hurst shifter ball.
Just trying to find which one is the correct one to purchase...
Ordered the MGW with this thread.. Threads: 12 MM x 1.25 FINE PITCH
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

I actually have a modified Hurst handle and black logo **** that works with the MGW if you are interested as I decided to use a different **** set-up.

Doogie said it. You remove the MGW shaft and never use it if you do this mod.
I didn't realize you bought the MGW, you were asking about OEM, that's what threw me.
