Any of you gents have a Hurst installed??....and if so, did the factory boot work well, or is it too long(high)..............

Dave · 03-01-2002, 08:06 PM

Boot works fine IMO. Fits better to knob that it did with OEM shifter.

ZO6LS6 · 03-01-2002, 08:08 PM

Dave, thanks, some folks have said they are not the correct height............(boots).
Now, I don't have to buy one..........

You can get a shorter boot from Ken King at http://vetteessentials.com/ for about $40.

I have seen two pics of installed Hurst shifters over at that "other" forum. They used the stock boot and it looked squished or cramped, I don't know what word I am looking for, it didn't look right. I shortened mine myself. For the guys who say it looks fine, can you show us some pics please. Thanks!

C'mon 2002blackZ06...tell us how you shortened yours. I'm sure that when the Hursts start arriving a bunch of us will look at your boot and need to know how you did it. A pic or two would be nice too.

Thanks,
Charlie

Well considering my car is sitting on my lift with no shifter in it, I don't know how my boot is going to look. I will take pics of it when I get my Hurst in. RG says it is getting shipped next week.

We hope!!!!!!!!!

Here is a pic of my Hurst and stock boot with a hardbar that I actually lowered about another inch. I ground down the first inch or so of threads so it would go down further. I will get a boot designed for short shifter though. It looks squashed to me. Besides I want a two tone yellow one and for $40 you can't beat it.

This guy has no way to send e mails to........and the site shows only boots of multi colors.........
Cruiz, you want a 2 tone boot?????..........
Just saw the pic..............yep, that's squished alright.........looks like the calorically challenged lady SAT on it............

CRUZMISL · 03-02-2002, 02:23 PM

Yeah I'm going to get a yellow/black boot from vettessentials.com. He's close too so I can just go pick it up

I do not have a Hurst shifter but have heard that the stock boot it too long for the shifter!!!

ZO6LS6 · 03-02-2002, 08:48 PM

ZO6, tried that, and it takes me straight back to the website........
Most sites enable you to e mail directly from the site.....but, this one evidently will not work( at least for me)...
I may have to call & order..........confused on this e mail deal???
