B&M hammerhead shifter will this fit on my car?
Hello everyone i have a 1995 firebird formula 6spd with a pro 5.0 shifter with lous short stick. I've been checking out alot of different shift ***** and wanted to know if the B&M hammerhead t-handle would fit on my car? Thats one of the best shift handles i've seen and really want it. If it can't fit i guess i would get one from flameball.com
Thanks in advance

If you know the thread you need you can go to the hardware store and get a tap that will cut new threads into the handle.
On the tap package it will tell you the drill bit size you need for that tap. You just need to drill out the handle and run the tap through it. Make sure while tapping you go a 1/2 turn foreward, then 1/4 turn back over and over.
