Pictures of your Automatic Shifters
I would like to see how some of your shifters turned out.

console / shifter
Hi,
I have a B & M quicksilver ratchet shifter for my C-6. Works great,bangs 1 gear at a time. Look in my picture gallery. Perry.:cool: |
Neat set-up.....
HIghPlains:
That Roll-bar/Head-rest set up is the cats ass. Was that fabricated or is it an off-the-shelf unit? I like it a lot. Safety that adds a nice touch to the car. Bern |
Bern,
I had a race shop fab up the dual rollbars and mig weld the 6 point together with extra frame braces to pass NHRA tech. Then I cut 1/8" aluminum plate to fit the rollbar and drilled and tapped it with allen screws to hold on the black powdercoated headrest supports. I cut 3/4" plywood to match and had a rod shop pad and upholster the headrests to match the seats. The wife loves the headrests, I used to get S$$t for stepping on the gas[whiplash] now her head is cushioned and I don't think any performance car should be without headrests if your going to drive it hard.Thanks for the kind words. Perry.:cool: |
Good stuff.....
Perry:
Thanks for the time and details. I will look into doing a modified clone of yours. I already have a full two seat roll bar which can be braced off of. You did a nice job on it. Thanks again. Bern |
Here's CSX2589 with the automatic configuration.

Hi wire nut,
Here's mine: http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...c-003s-med.jpg It's a '65 Mustang shifter -I'm told some of the originals had these. Regards, Tom |
Awsome, I like the look of the fittted to the consol style. Perry was your shifter for a mustang or other factory consol or did you remove the box plastic thing that a lot of universal shifters have?

Automatic shifters
Here's mine....
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...0170Dash_3.JPG Yeah, I know, that LOOKS like a 289 Cobra 4-speed shifter - well, I guess it SHOULD, because that's what it IS. I grafted a 289 Cobra 4-speed shift lever onto my C-4 shift lever. Even the reverse lock-out works. I put a slight "bend" to the left in it, so when the C4 is in "Park" the shifter appears to be in the position of "Reverse" for a Ford 4-speed. Here's what it looks like under the tunnel: http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...0170Shift1.JPG I mounted the shifter bracket to the tranny, so it even "shakes" like a stick-shift shifter. The boot comes up high enough that I did not even bother to have the shifter handle re-plated after all the heating, bending, and welding. regards, cobrajeff |
Bracket
JP,
The B&M comes with a 3" tall black plastic mount also for floor mounting, I didn't use it, just made 3" metal extensions to lower the shifter into my consol. Perry.:cool: |
Jeff,
That is a FANTASTIC job. Looks terriffic. Ben |
An automatic shifter that works for me
In our CSX, I used a Mustang shifter with the wood T-handle from a '68-'70 Shelby. It has the chrome Shelby Cobra emblem on it. I used the shift indicater bezel from a '67-'68 Mustang so I would have the desired in line, progressive, pattern trimmed in chrome. 12DNRP The earlier '65-'66 bezel has 1D2NRP. I always change the valve body in an early Mustang to the newer style, to facilitate progressive gear, speed shifting too.;)
ST I noticed in the picture of CSX2589 that you posted that it has what appears to be a '69-'70 shifter and bezel. But then, I could be wrong.:D Fast Farmer |
Verry nice!! Jeff you must have put a lot of thought into getting it just right. Were you able to use back up light and neutrial safety connections? Necessity is the mother of invention.
Any more? |
I'm using the B&M Hammer, I ended up dropping mine into the tunnel about 3 inches to get the correct ergonomic feel. Pictures are in my gallery.
