Today I completed another minor project. I made two gaskets, one to go between the shifter stick and the adapter, and another to go between the adapter and the shifter mechanism. While I was at it I also pulled the aluminum handle back out and reinstalled the Hurst stick.
Years ago I found the polished stainless plate that fits into the top of the Hurst Super Boot cut into the boot, eventually tearing it. So when a new replacement boot was installed, I removed the cosmetic plate. After having had so many variations in boot position and stick selections, I looked it over again tonight and determined the boot is currently in a nearly neutral position. So I also went ahead and reinstalled the top plate to make the boot look more finished, and add a bit more sparkle to the interior. Shifting through all the gears it doesn’t appear the plate is causing any problems this time.
