Project: BLACK METAL - '67 Camaro

[67rally]

Just documenting this for the sake of documenting it. This may never help anyone other than myself. This is the shifter base from core-shifters.com. As you can see in the pics, one side of the handle base is grooved and one side is smooth. I wanted to mount my shifter handle on the drivers side, but that was the smooth side. I decided to pull the shifter base apart to see if I could flip the handle around.

Here's the shifter in stock form. The left side is the rear, the right side is the front (as if looking at from the passenger seat)




I unbolted the top 4 bolts:






Removed the top plate and found 2 springs, one each side, that are for centering the shifter:




Remove the springs and this is what you see:




Lift the shifter handle straight up:




Rotate it 180*:




And reverse the process:




Now here it is looking from the drivers side:




This literally took less than 10 minutes, including taking the pics. The only thing I didn't show was I used a little RTV black on the tip of the 4 bolts, since that's what was on there when I took them out.

This will allow you to mount any of the dozens of shifters that Hurst sells in the opposite direction they intended. Perfect for customizing your setup.
