Hurst V-gate repair advice needed
So I guess I got a little carried away and was a little too aggressive with the shifting. The threaded end of the stick snapped off right at the bottom of the threads. What would you say is the best way to repair this? Notice I said BEST, not easiest because I don’t plan to change my shifting enthusiasm and dont want this to happen again.
Right now I’m thinking I’ll need to disassemble the shifter and have the stick turned down in a lathe and re-threaded. Anyone have experience disassembling one of these shifters? I noticed there are some rivets involved and the directions specifically say not to disassemble due to tolerances that are set at the factory. What say you?
