How did you hookup the column shift to the commo gearbox?
Title: Re: VIOLET THE FC HOLDEN PROJECT Post by: njf690 on July 30, 2016, 01:20:34 PM had it modified to the collapsible column( but a shit job by rods racks ) had to fix that , then run a marine shifter cable and gearbox adaptor off summit racing . bit of a hassle but works great now really wanted to keep the original look to the car .

Well done.

And interesting idea I noticed a while back was that early Hillman Minx with 4 speed manual boxes used a cable through a steel [fuel line ] outer and only enough flex at either end for mounts . Just a piece of engineering history for people who want to think out side the norm. Haydn
