Old School Gear Knob

[Tony_Montana87]

Well im looking for a old shcool 1969-1970 Gear Knob. I saw a old 69 Boss 429 with this kind of gear. Im wondering if i could put this on a Mach 1 or SVTF or even maybe a Cobra.

Description: its not a ball, or a handle, its basicly a thick long and wide piece of metal laying horizontal, so when you grab it your fingers are fracing the radio, and your palm is down holding the knob. it fits 4 fingers and the thumb kinda gose under it.

its lays out like this

The little ^ is fited to fit your fingers and you just shift like that, im sure some of you hae seen it its realy cool.

Man that figure came out pretty good lol it took me like 30 mins to draw that thing lol, im stilll looking for pics of the knob ill post some if i find it.

Are you talking about a Hurst type T shifter?

Nothing like a nice Hurst T-Handle.

 

[FordSVTFan]

Nope, especially the new ones you can get with the wiring for a nitrous button at the thumb position.

You must mean the "GO BABY GO" buttom.

I use the hurst classic knob and classic handle, I rarely see it in modern day stangs.

That handle would probably fit just about any shifter, even if you had to use an adaptor.

hehhe you know what i mean, the size of the thing that screws into the handle or whatever

 

[GoatDaddy]

do you mean the inside diameter of the thread-hole? I think most aftermarket shifters use the same diameter threaded shaft, but regardless, they make adaptors to fit. If you get a Hurst shifter, and they are nice, just order a knob that fits it.

Yah Benny is correct. Benny dont frighten the poor youngster, but go ahead and show him the size of the knob
