MK BEC Gear shifter fitting
Colnago_Man - 30/6/08 at 10:44 AM

Does anyone have pics of there MK BEC gear shifter kit installed please. I've seen a couple of pics of the 'working' end by the footwell but would like to know how the shift lever is mounted to the chassis.

I've been play with my shift lever all weekend (fnrrr) but cannot get it right so it doesnt hit the prop.

I know a few people have had problems with this. My main issue was the main Alu rod was not long enough by about 60mm or so. Now it's fixed it is still very close to the prop (about 10mm) but does clear it. I found connecting it all up loose ish and working with it that way was best to get an idea of where it needed to be.

The main shifter is facing downwards isn't it?

Sorry, didnt make myself too clear.
I'am currently making my own gear shift but was having problem fitting the mock-up that I'd made. So I was looking for examples of what other people or MK themselves have do in the past.

Thanks
