Thanks for the comments about the Merc shifter mod. It was born out of frustration trying to make a Hurst 3 speed shifter fit and function on the Tonner. Using an early shift tower to design a stable shifting platform that looked like it belonged wasn’t that difficult. The hard part was turning the design into reality. To give credit where credit is due the fabrication of the components was done by a good friend who had the time and access to a machine shop to turn out the parts used in the mod. Without his help that shifter would have just been lines on a piece of paper.
