Default Stupid Steeda Pistol Grip shift ****

Doesn't fit my 05. Damn. It's close, but no cigar. Anyone out there need one for an earlier year cheap, lol? Ah well, at least I know the install when I get the correct thread size will be easy.

Yep, it's 12mmx1.5, not 12x1.75, or the other way around. Regardless, it doesn't fit. Also, I was dissapointed with the quality. It's really not finished that well.

I have the brushed aluminum. Lots of scratches and unfinished looking areas (and yes, it was still in the bag, unopened). Not a very quality piece overall, besides the wrong thread size.

Hey STANMAN, I feel your pain, I also ordered a new **** from v8power they claimed would fit and ofcoarse it didn't. The threads were wrong and it would have taken serious modification to work. It looks like they changed the threads this year.
I'm still actively looking and ran into this one...
yes, add another "0" to the cost but it's still pretty cool though.[:-]

The whole Hurst shifter would by yummy! I am still out on just the ball though. There is another member here who has just the ball, with the mustang logo on it. It looks alright, but not just quite 100% right.

Hey, what's wrong with my ball? (Wow, that dosen't sound right?) Actually, I'm getting 2 others made-up, with the same logo. One in Black and 1 in Red. I will see which one looks better with my new shift boot. I'll send pictures of both installed when I get them.

Hey Dave!

Where did you get the ball? And what thread size?

My ***** (Hee Hee) are standard Billiard & Snooker *****. They are the only one's I could find in solid black & red. I'm having them laser engraved and then I tap them myself. If I remember off the-top-of-my-head, it's 12mm x 1.25. I bought the tap set (comes with tap a drill bit) at Pep Boy's for $5.99! I carefully drill the cue *****, in 3 different sizes, slowly increasing until I use the one that comes with the tap set. Then they tap very easy, because the cues ball are made of a resin type of material. Not hard to tap at all!

Here's where I bought the ***** from:
