Paddle Shift
LBMEFM - 24/11/07 at 10:35 PM

After reading Robert Ryan's (wasn't he a film star) posting I am a bit concerned. I have spent ages wiring up my Ford Sierra stalks with the next job being to fit the MK column shift gear linkage. Can I still do this and also have the column stalks?

Hi

No there is no flex in these i have done 3 now and work a treat very precise never misses a gear,

I prefer to keep switch gear neat and tidy and no small buttons for indicators makes the car easy to drive with all the controls and your fingers tip,

but the choice is yours i think both work well i am told.

p.s Nice job helfire looks good

Hellfire, what's the foam thingy on the paddle shift handles (black and red)? Is that a heat-shrink thing? Where can you buy it? Looks great!
Thanks! And sorry for the hijack!
