You'll never get the one on the left to work

Looks very nice though

that looks great - any chance i could have a copy of your cad drawing?

How are you mounting the cable>? ( right angle bracket on the back) and how are you mounting it onto the steering column?

Thanks

thats cool

is it hard to do a flappy paddle shift

send me you email and I'll send you the dxf file, I made this one about 25mm smaller diameter than the wheel , If you want one I'll price material and cutting ( redraw to suit your wheel) and let you know how much!

also I have a cable (push/pull ) but have decided to go for rods I'll post photos in my archive in the next two of three days!

Why rods ???
I run cable and it is great.
On a ZX12

Soren S2

on the pan engine the gear shaft is located in a hole between the engine and box ! so in this case rods will be easy! and the less complicated it is the less likely to go wrong!

I went for rods too, after trying a cable. I preferred the 'direct' feel, which I can't put into words.
Simply one rod to a bellcrank on the firewall top chassis tube and then one down to the gearchange shaft.

Simples.

hi i would be interested in buying one of these paddles from you to suit a sierra Steering wheel. How are you mounting the paddle to the steering column ? what costs would be involved ?

Hi, can you also make one for me? I live in Holland so it must be shipped to Holland. How much will it cost incl. shipping?
