I had a HR G/box in my FC and a HR column and the linkages worked fine so can't see why not, as your doing the same conversion only using EH column to the same G/Box ........FC427......

The slector linkage comes out of the side of the gear box but the rods are shaped for the linkage to come out of the bottom of the box?

Sorry Kiwi FC I should have said you will need to change the Column to EH or HR to get back to three on the tree for the linkages to work out, have never seen it done with the FC column ......FC427.......

Bryce making the linkages would not be hard but first you would have to compair the the movement of the selectors at the bottom of the FC column against the movement of a EH /HD /HR type to know if it will be OK.......FC427.......

I gotta say that the only stupid questions are the ones that you don't ask.

If you don't know, then ask as ask.  Ask again to be sure if you think you need to.  Lotsa blokes here are quite happy to share their knowledge.
