    1963 Shifter Part Needed

    I have attached a picture of my April 1963 shifter. I'm looking for the small shaft that goes through the hole on the shifter arm and the shaft that goes through the shifter. I've looked at the major vendors and can't seem to find the knurled shaft pin that goes in this hole.

    Any suggestions on where I can find this part?

    Thanks

    I think the company is Corvette Products of Michigan. I purchased several new parts for my 63. All fit like new.

        The pin was GM #542967 but it was discontinued without supercession in 1977. I'm not sure if you mean that you also need the shaft. The shaft was GM #3758894 but was also discontinued without supercession in 1975. I know of no reproduction source for these parts but it's possible there is one.

        I think that Mike's suggestion to use a roll pin in place of the original pin is a good one.

          Thanks everyone for your responses. I'm going with the roll pin suggestion.

                We’re they gobbled up in the mergers?
                Here’s my 63. I replaced the pin and shaft from them a year or so back.

                    Thanks Leif. That is good news and a relief. They have things we need others do not.
