Here's the link - see post #6 - I bumped it to the top for you too. The shifter handle is from FRPP - but looks like a Hurst. Comes in both black and white.

Def get the white/chrome it is classic and looks much better.

Is the nut visible??? (No sarcastic comments..lol) It looks like it is visible in the first pic.. Is there an adjustment to this to have it to further up into the shift ball ???

The jam nut is exposed but you can't really see it while driving - you have to be crouched down low to see it. It's a jam nut for the knob so it's as far into the knob as it's gonna get.

FYI, I just measured the ball diameter and it is 1.9", which is smaller than the Hurst ball knobs for the Mustang, which I believe are 2.25".

I just measured the Hurst ball on my GT and it is 1.86 in.

Same here (1.85 ") only mine is on my GT500 with the Steeda Tri ax shifter.

I got the 2.25" diameter from the Hurst catalog for part number 1630060 and 1630160.

But from the looks of it, the FRPP ball and the Hurst balls you guys are using are nearly identical in size.

I think you are right, at least they look the same size to me. The 2.25" should be noticeably larger.
