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

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!

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, 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?

Same here. My racecar's got a rose-jointed rod linkage, while the Striker has a cable-operated linkage. The racer's shift is noticeably
better.
