1/4 stick/ transbracket/column link

[jbaker]

ok.......... installing my hurst quarterstick. do i need to modify
the bracket that the cable hooks to on the trans, that also actuates the linkarm that goes to the steering column?
hurst supplies a new arm to put on the gear selection input shaft
but there is no provision for actuating the column link.

i ve checked out the newsletter instal and nothing is mentioned about modifying.


thanks

We did this on my son's MCSS and ended up cutting & welding parts of both brackets to keep the stock linkage intact. If you can weld, it only takes a few minutes to mark, cut, and reassemble the pieces.

Russ is correct. Cut the U - shaped section off the stock linkage and weld to the Hurst arm. By doing this you retain the original reverse lights switch and neutral safety switch. Good Luck.

My website has a detailed picture of the linkage modification needed. Of course I have a B&M Quicksilver in my Cutlass, but the modification is the same.
