Title: Vintage Hurst Line-Lock Switch Topic
Post by: Frank LUX on January 19, 2016, 21:13:32 pm
Hey Guys,

This may sound Strange but who of you guys have or are Running a Vintage Hurst Line-Lock Switch?

I have been searching for Years and can finally close the Search (well almost) as I have 1 complete one and 1 missing only the Red Switch now!!!

I do know that, Dave Mason, Art Gutierrez and Helge Ohmes have one, but who else???

Frank

1st Picture is from Art's "STDRGN"
2 one is from my Incomplete one...

I looked for a long time too and found one here on the lounge a few years ago.

Anyone know the story on these? Were they for a certain shifter, or just a side option for those guys?

From what I have seen the first roll controls had a very similar switch to the modern day ones

The switch in the green car is from the eighties and a more flatter switch with a red button.  In this February issue of Hot VW's there is a picture of the shifter with the red line lock button.

I'm far from the most knowledgeable on this but I did see on the side of an NOS Hurst line lock box a picture of these switches and their part number so I'm assuming just an accessory for round shaft shifters.

Frank, would you be so kind as to open up your switch base and take some pictures?   I have a fried who has been working making me a duplicate with his 3D printer so I don't have to open my NOS one.

Hey guys they're not as hard to find as we thought.  OC1967vw says he found 2 NOS ones in less than 24 hours after he tried to buy mine.  He's going to post the pictures I asked him to.  Maybe he wants to sell one to someone!!!

Thanxs Kalle,

Actually it is pieced together...never found a complete one...

The Main Body is out of the Clyde Berg racecar
Red Switch came from Art Gutierrez
And to get the backplate i had to buy a Berg Shifter...on the Samba which had one on it...

So, I have a Spare main body without the red switch incase you are interested...!!!

I have one on mine too...
But This switch is actually made to fit HURST trigger style shifter. No for T-handle.
