nose cone and hockey stick. the hockey stick has a short piece of it sticking out the end of nose cone-the shift coupler bolts onto it.and if not a 1960 only frame(the beetle) you need the bus front rubber mount. 1960 beetle you would use the 60-67 bus nosecone,hockey stick and 1960 only beetle front rubber mount.

I did notice that 'indexing pin' on the pre 67 shifters. I think that is what keeps them from rotating. The post 68 ones can be rotated as you mentioned. So for fitting the chromed example Id have to cut n file.......now Id put that on the back burner, unless I experiment with a spare tunnel rod. This also means Id have to go the same route to fit the pre 67 shift lever onto the rag. Or maybe go on treasure hunt and change the tunnel rod to an earlier item. If Im really lucky Id find the pre 67 bus nosecone too. I think thats a better option.
