Well, another cool product brought to the table, I just received today our first T1 sample of our H/O licensed top plate. Yes I realize the cut is on the wrong side, it was cut in just for testing purposes to get around the shifters. The actual sample in on my desk.

Hurst top shifter plates

THese are original look, feel, touch and will be as exact as the original, as in all other cases on the products created.

I have the ability to make these in anyways wanted. Before I do so, I would like to take a poll before we place them in production.

I have attached a couple pictures on what different styles I am thinking. Take the poll, let me know your thoughts.

Sweet, I like the original look to be reproduced. When will these become available? I'm restoring my L-rods currently and my top plate isnt that nice. Will you be making the rubber boot/metal plate with the bristles underneath the top plate too?

we are working at getting the whiskers and plate finished as well. We wanted to get the plate finished first since it is the most desired and needed.

Re: Factory Hurst Licensed H/O Shifter Plates soon to releas

I know I might get a lot of negative comments on this request but is their anyway y'all could produce them with the 86-88 butterfly walnut wood grain pattern? I'm going to run a 455 big block Olds engine with a TH-400 transmission in my 86 Cutlass. I have a set of 3 spd lightning rods I'm putting in as well and it would be sweet to have the reproduction lightning rid shift plate with the 86-88 wood grain pattern to match my dash pieces. Also it would be cool if y'all repop the 79 H/O dual gate shifter plate as well, when I bought my 86 Cutlass the previous owner already had a 79 H/O dual gate shiter mounted in there but no shifter plate. :(
