hurst shifter

[oasis]

I found out over the weekend two significant details about this Hurst shifter. The good: It's never been installed. The bad (my opinion only): It is the T-shifter type.

What do you think? Also, can the T-handle be removed and replaced by a knob?

(Yeah, I know I should have asked. I brain-cramped. It just didn't dawn on me at the time because I thought all Hurst shifters for VWs were round-knobbed with an O-ring lock-out. I did leave the door open, though.)
