    Good stuff. I'm sure I'll eventually have one on my work bench. Take up Brett' offer of the video. Give Adam some competition...

    I doubt it. Both your shifters are good for another 50 years!

    Here is a comparison of a service replacement selector pin carrier and an original.

    The original has a large cut out on the backside. The service replacement has a small slot

    Just got a bunch of plated parts in the mail! Its like jewelry!! The correct straight handle receiver and lever arms and a complete master rebuild kit. I'm actually really excited to put this back together! Still waiting on the clips and isolators for the handle

    Ok.....got the isolators and clips in the mail this past week and managed to brave the cold to get this assembled. I really ought to make a video but just wasn't into it.

    It's all good to go. New master rebuild kit, new clips and isolators for the handle. Performed a function check and shes ready for another 50 years of service.

    And Bob gets a box of all the used parts removed.

    Hurst shifters are the best....other shifters? Complete disasters. Everyone knows...
