Hey Kenny,

Would a set of your RHD grips fit one of these trigger type LHD auto shifts?

Hi Mozz,

Kenny,

Yeah do that!  I will be handing Matt his shifter back soon.  He will probably go with some RHD grips to suit it.
I will wait to see yours. I will probably go with the full Hurst type shift!

Kenny,
Nice product.
Hope to see you at one of the shows (Carlisle or the Nats).

If you don't make it to the show, how can I help?
Are you looking just for the Slap Stick shifting mechanism unit? I can get some and ship them to you.

Hi Mozz,

You have a couple of options when it comes to right hand grip buddy. I can get a hold of a fiberglass grip that is made in a Brown colour, their is a picture of them on Roy282 thread http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=89241.315 post #323, you can have a look at them their.
Or if you like, you can contact Roy282 about making a wooden custom grip in right hand for Matty in nearly any combination you like.
Let me know what you decide and between Roy282 and Myself, i am sure one of us can help you out :2thumbs:

Hey Alan, :wave:

I only just picked these handles up the other day :faint: I talked to my chrome guy, and he wants everything prepped before he wants me to send them, so i am in the process of doing the machine work on them that i need to do first, and then it ill be around a 3 week turn around on the chrome process. My guy is really good and i have to wait in line just like everyone else. But these shifters are actually happening now, and i am super excited. :jumping: :woo:

Thanks,
Kenny. :bigsmile:

UPDATE: Here are some pictures showing that my handles are cut now and ready for the next process of me machining each item and then i will have them engraved and then they will head over to the chromer. Then it is as simple as putting all the pieces together....... Starting to become a reality of sorts, this has been the biggest hurdle so far, but it is a really nice product they have cut for me. They said that because i supplied a really good sample, it made their job so much easier and they could duplicate to the standard i set. :clapping:

Thank you Bart, good advice :wave: . That is exactly what i plan to do, it is not a race, my aim is for quality as i too will be using one of these shifters in each of my car myself :2thumbs:

I know, You and me both :wave: . Plus the other 60+ guys who have contacted me already just for displaying it here. :faint:

I can picture it in my head to how it will look, but truth be known, i have a feeling it will look even better than i have pictured in my head, it really is taking shape now. I will make these look and work to the best of my ability....... :grinyes:
