Yes I got the short one, I also have a 15" wheel but haven't mounted it yet. Good luck.

Have you thought about building up the worn down area with a mig welder and then just grinding it to shape?

yea, it did cross my mind. the shifter is to far gone. pitted chrome and epoxy handle on the end.
not worth the effort. thanks for your help though.
