(http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a589/hsv-001/SAM_0017_zps596fc191.jpg) ($2) I have done quite a lot and prefer the directness of the linkage . The trick is to shorten the commodore shifter lever by the same ratio as you shorten the box linkage , this will allow you to lower the shifter and get closer to the box . These shifters I have made using the early isolator switch [external on the side of the stick] and the first is home made out of a tent peg and Arial bezel on the VN_VR shifter base and the other is obviously later pistol grip style . I find that the cable linkages can be a little clumsy and the cable untidy. If you need any info just PM or ring 0755477094 .Cheers Haydn Title: Re: auto floor shifter Post by: Errol62 on August 30, 2016, 08:59:59 AM Column shift lets me schmooze up to my (old) girly

I did the same as JB with my sedan but with my FB/EK ute I'm doing I'm going to use a Lokar shifter they make one for the TH700 and it mounts up really nice. If you can get onto the FB/EK forum have a look at Nomads Kustom FB Sedan page 28 shows how it mounts. Regards Neil H |
