Hi Ron,
The man who "built" my car, (spit6), used a single pull switch mounted on a
bracket just below the shifter knob on the shifter. I met up with him at a
show 2 summers ago and asked him why he did this and not go with the correct
one. His response was that he always found the stock shifter knobs to be
unreliable and prone to failure. Now, I can not say what is being sold now
is like. The switch itself is very rugged and doesn't look really out of
place either.
Just 2more cents
