Hurst V-gate repair advice needed
I snapped my vertical gate shifter off the same way, took it to a guy I now who is an excellent welder fabricator. He cut the stick off below the 3/8 threaded part were it was a 1/2 inch thick, then cut the head off a 1/2 inch fine thread grade 8 bolt. Tapered The ends of both pieces and filled in the tapers with weld, then put a bead of weld above and below that. Ground the welds down smooth and that was 8 or 10 years ago. The pistol grip handle I use was a universal one that had the insert for 1/2 inch fine.
P.S. I was in an out of his shop in less than a half hour.
