No nuts, just balls. Only nut is the one behind the wheel!

The nut applications were used when there was a shift pattern on the ball, so it could be aligned.  The console version of the 69 factory hurst ball is just chrome (shift pattern is on the console), no nut.  But if car is does not have a console, the ball should have a shift pattern AND a nut to align it :) Or some other way to align the shift pattern.

The shift knob used w/o console was 2-piece; the lower half provided the adjustment. No nut needed.

Sorry for dredging up an old thread.  Read several posts saying the shift knobs for non-console cars were two pc. and did not need a separate nut to align the shift pattern.  Makes good sense.  What I haven't read is if there is an application where the separate nut was used.  I bought an original 5325 shift handle and it had one installed with same patina.  It's clearly a special nut, so just curious what the correct application might be for it.
