How hard is it to bend & Shorten the gear stick lever?

 

thanks :D

how dodgy is it? very

lol ok - Ive changed the design for my center console again anyway (just position) - so its all good - thanks !

you could put a short shifter in, shorter throw and shorter actually 'Pole'

Short shift kits don't always have a shorter "pole". They make the throw shorter by changing the axis point

yep

 

I'm about to build one for a K40....its an easy mod if you know how :D

make one for me too :D

hahaha....maybe I should start making some. Old corollas need more aftermarket bits...

 

I need a spare shifter first...don't wanna start chopping up the one I have to use to get home :D

gotta agree the old rolla'z need more aftermarket parts..... so if any1 out there has the brains n balls n cas 2 make them....i will buy!! in particular short shift kit.....maybe a bolt in roll cage?? or even engine mount kits for newer engine conversions (like they sell at datspeed)

You mean a short shift like this? :) This is the Mark I version made for the Dwarf. The Mark II is much prettier.

 

No one really makes bolt in roll cages anymore, although I think Bond in Sydney may still do. No-one makes alloy cages anymore, and you'd be hard pressed to buy a half cage these days. Personally, I get mine built and installed by professionals, but each to their own.

 

I don't think enough people do these conversions to make mass production of engine mounts economically viable.

 

P.S: Ben, you can borrow this one for a template if you would like. R

thats pretty much what I will be making...seen as theres enough interest. Just a few details to iron out at the moment, then I'll take some orders.

 

Anyone know if all the shifter bolt patterns are the same though the K series gearboxes? I can make them for pretty much any gearbox...
