installing bolt in shifter handle in push in box

[barbee6043]

I know there is an adaptor, but why can't it just be ground to fit in and drilled and bolted in??

That's what I did with mine, might be why it was difficult to push in, but I drilled 2 holes and bolted it in.

I have done 4 speed cars for decades but getting the right box and handle was easy. Now stupid $ for everything. I can see why I can't drill and use the push in box. It shorten the handle by what 1 1/2 inches maybe. Glad it worked for you!!!!!

instead of messing up the 70' only assembly, why not just get an assembly that accepts bolt in handles ?
you can get a good bit of $$$ for a 70 only assembly....

Think most of the Hurst Super Shifter II assemblies will work with a bolt in handle.

just my thinking.

I'm pretty sure you can swap in a bolt in stick bottom and stiffening plate to replace the press in stick bottom. Could always ask the guys at Brewers.

It is an A/B box and I don't think it is hardly one year. But I understand the idea!!!!!

Yes they sell a piece to do this for $100 or so plus shipping. New boxes are what $300 plus freight??

$19.95 for the bolt in stick bottom
$9.95 for the bolt in stick bottom stiffener plate and bolts

Plus your time to gut your shifter mechanism and replace the push in stick bottom with bolt in style. Hell, maybe Brewers would even buy your push in stick bottom. I see they sell that refurb part for $89.95.

I ran across the same hurdle recently……called Brewers, they sent me out a couple pieces to convert my existing shift mechanism, took 10 min and maybe cost $30. Much easier then drilling your old one if you ask me.
