Hi all,
I was wondering what method of gearchage to go with either push pull cable or bellcrank system ? I see that mnr do a push pull kit for £150 which seems alot but seems very comprehensive and might save some head scratching and swearing !!
Cheers
(will be used on blade engined Aries)

I've got the Aries paddle shift with the billet column bit etc. Works on a cable and is a nice bit of kit but not cheap!

I went for the one from Luso - its a nicely made piece of kit - took a good few weeks to get it though.

They powder coated it in the colour scheme I asked for too which was great.

I went for a simple bellcrank system- the only attempt at engineering nowse was rose-jointing the end of the push rods.

Works very nicely, no significant slack etc etc. Only issue was when one of the nylocks came off and I had to do about 30 miles in fourth gear (including three roundabouts....)....

Somewhere in my picture archive there's a very shite drawing of the system.... But it's basically a bellcrank mounted to the firewall...
