Interesting... who told you the Barton has more “adjustability”? I can tell you that George, himself, has answered many, and all my questions regarding the MGW.im told the Barton has more adjustability than the MGW, the flat stick is slightly reminiscent of some random cars from his past, and also more than a few bucks cheaper...probably the same poor lost soul
There is a reason MGW has a ton of shifters in 350’s. Here’s a few reasons:
Look at the center backbone and the hardware utilized. MGW has 12, grade-8 bolts attaching the main shifter body to the rigid support arm.
It’s pretty damn robust, and there’s a significant amount of adjustability. I can’t speak for George, but I can tell you that I have witnessed George field calls on his shifters and walk customers though their installs despite the time it took him away from his biz. He’s a true gentleman of a builder. In fact, the man installed his shifter in my R first of all R’s. The shifter, from Ford is good... George made It great!
As for Barton, I won’t knock their product... neither will I elevate it on, or above the level of the MGW. Just look at it...
lateral supports, still appears to use nylon extensively, and with less bottom end than the MGW, someone still claims it has “better adjustability”. I can’t honestly say it does or doesn’t, but if I had to go alone on pics, it looks like Mayweather picking on Tyson.
I am not knocking your choice, just intrigued by the claims which appear to be hard to justify by looks alone... yet, I can tell you from experience, the shifter is near bulletproof.
