![]() ![]() Now to add to the confusion is this shifter: In fact, I have never seen a straight chrome shifter. But I have seen more copper straight shifters than chrome straight shifters. I have seen more chrome curved Hurst shifters than copper ones. The knob comes within about an inch of the e-brake button when in 2nd and e-brake up. The curved one even works well on 73 and later cars with the shifter moved back. However, all the shifters work on all cars. Originally, Hurst made the curved shifters for 67 and earlier cars. The copper one was a special edition in around 71-72. The chrome one started in the 60s and was made up until the early 80s. There never was a change from chrome to copper or vise versa. ![]() The chrome shifters all came with a black knob. The threaded insert comes loose pretty easy, so many of them were replaced with a black bake-o-lite knob. The copper Hurst shifters all came with a wood knob. Judging from Dave's pics they came with both type knobs. If anyone has any literature or ads showing these, and the dates, It'd be interesting to see.īruce seems to be pretty up on the ins and outs of the Hursts, he even has a right hand drive one he posted a pic of somewhere. Was there a date change that they went from wood to bakelite, or vise-versa, and when did the change from copper to chrome go? So many variables, also, the bent and straight Hursts too. My copper Hurst came with a wooden knob, and my chrome one didn't have a knob. My copper Hurst has a bakelite type black knob as well. I guess to be original I'll put the wood knob back on. I didn't know that the wood knob was the stock knob, I found a black one at a swap meet for $2.00 and am using it. ![]() I scrounged around the swapmeets and found an aftermarket shifter for $5.00 that had a good boot to use on my Hurst. I have an original Hurst shifter in my 77 Convertible. Germanpride wrote: THANKS! Now does anyone reproduce the wooden shifter knobs? THANKS! Now does anyone reproduce the wooden shifter knobs? Thought it would be helpful to people wanting to re-boot their old shifter or replace the reverse lockout cable. This was in reference to a related thread in the kit car forum that flew under the radar. I have some pics in the gallery that show how to disassemble and re-boot an old Hurst.
