Dax Paddle Shift

Has anyone tried this out? Has anyone used it on something other than the dax?

Im interested in using the design as a base for mine but not sure how to mount it under the sierra column, what to use for the pivot etc...

If i could use the 'horns' id buy it and try it but i think they'll be huuuuge on a 270mm wheel!

Any other thoughts?

I used this years ago

System was excellent used in 2 mk indy's

Never missed a gear and some pics attached for you,

How wide are the paddles?
Did all the linkage bits come with it or did you make that up...?

No the links you can get from dax and the mounting bracket to the column, i just purchase some length of m8 rod from b&q to attach to either end of the ball joints,

I used the original gear linkage mk supply and mounted it at the top as you can see from pics,

its a mountey 12" wheel i dont have the car anymore but the widest point is 12"

Hope this helps

I think my MK pivot has died.... i can twist the top without the bottom moving!
