Which shifter do you think I should use?
« on: February 15, 2013, 11:41:08 am »
I need help on the decision of which shifter to use.
This is the one in the car

And this is the one I was thinking of putting into the car. It's the blue beetle vert.  It's the car in my avatar. Mostly stock but has dual carbs and disc brakes

Bring that dirty ol' Berg shifter over & I'll swap you for a shiny Hurst Indy!

You'll be the envy of your friends

Okay.   Berg wins.   Here's how it looks. 


It drives awesomely.
Thanks to all those that participated.  Shawn broke the tie and since he wanted to trade for it, that was worth 1/2 extra vote.  Smiley is safe. It only takes a few minutes to change them.  So they both win in the end.
