Default How do you like my T handle?

I used a new Hurst T handle that fits a late model Mustang. The threads were just right for the Steeda Tri Ax. I had to retap the locknut for 1/2" coarse threads tho. This project took me awhile, but cost was minimal, and the feel is great! Since the Tri ax can be stiff, you need something like a T handle to control it with! Until someone comes up with a handle just for these cars, we have to do what we can. Opinions?

I love it, my first true sports car, a 70 1/2 Z28/RS had a hurst in it with a T handle, I just loved it!
But mine didn't say "hurst" on the handle, is that a new thing?

The only thing that holds me back is that I live in AZ, and the thought of what temperature that
little bugger would get to in the sun...

Hurst has been putting thier logo on the T-handle forever. They have been available with or without the logo. Looks good.

Thanks guys. It actually looks better in real life than in the pictures. And it feels great as well. The brushed finish works well with all the aluminum panels inside too.

But hey, that's just an opinion, If it's right for you GO FOR IT!

I stuck a Hurst T handle shift **** onto my '86 GT, yup it looked & felt real nice. You can also get them with a nitrous button right beside your thumb. [8D]
