So, I called up Hurst today looking for a 1-R lever arm for my 3 speed. Right now I have an arm I made myself for 1-R, and although it works it's not quite right in terms of calibration (you have to work to put it in to the 2-3 side.)
Because of this and it being 12 kinds of cold out, I decided to give Hurst a ring and ask them if they had one. Their reply was that they don't break their kits up.
Am I wrong to think that it sucks you can't get replacement parts for a shifter? I mean, it's not like this stuff doesn't get lost or even broken from time to time. I'm even okay with getting gouged a bit because it's a singleton part. Perhaps I'm used to the "old" way of thinking where you can actually get service parts for items you buy.
Am I that far off base here? Maybe I have lost touch with being in a throw away society?
Anyone know someone that's got some spare levers for a Hurst shifter on a M15 Muncie 3 speed?
