Maybe the Fairlane shifter body is different, but every aftermarket Hurst Competition Plus shifter that I ever had for a Toploader, had the shifter handle welded on, and non removable. Seemed most other applications had a bolt on handle, as does my Toploader Hurst Super Shifter 3, as well as the factory Hurst shifter used in 1970 Mustangs/Torinos etc, although those were clipped in place.
