Paddle shift top rocker update pic

Think I've got my top rocker all sorted.

Just need to get the arms tigged onto the thick ali bar.

Rose joint at each side to act as a bearing.

I know the arm looks long, but the shift is nice and positive.

Hi OX,

After trying various lengths, this just worked out best.

Soesn't help with me using a long arm from the gearbox spline combined with the Stuart Taylor paddles that have very little movement.

Big I know, but it will look nice when all polished up.

Probably over-engieered as well, but isn't everything!

Pic of bottom joint.

Arm is the longer Blade variety.

Hi Chris,

I know - lost 6 weeks around xmas.

Hopefully have a nice black chassis and parts on Sunday night if all goes to plan.
