Cant reach Quaif reverse lever .. mod needed
Well I'm 6'1" and when strapped in cant reach the reverse lever which is way under the dash.
Anyone designed an extension to go on the existing handle to extend it back around 6 - 8 "
Its an upright flat bar coming out of the tunnel and the handle is horizontal round bar.
Chris.

my ST just had a simple lever pivoting between the tunnel rails with a rose jointed rod connecting to the box lever. I actually got rid of it as i
kept knocking the reverse box into neutral when changing up on the gear lever, so makesure you mount it far enough away from the gear lever!

Just loosen the belt when you want to reverse...

Hi, we have modified the lever on our car. See photos in my artchive. This also made it possible to reverse the directions, so forwards is forward and
backwards is reverse. Do it, wou will never regret it, it is so much easier and better...
And an easy job to do as well.

Thanks. Seems a very vague explanation. Did you understand it?

I'm glad mine is as far forward as it is.
I don't want an unknowing passenger grabbing at it as the
disbelief of the cars cornering ability sets in 
Only use it when parking really, so no problem releasing the harness
