Well I finally got some pics up of the short shifter that I made.
The body is 2024 Aircraft ally as is the knob only polished (I like to have a polished knob lol.gif ), shaft is 316 stainless steel, pivot pins are chrome-molly steel, and bushings are teflon.


Here it is installed evil.gif

This is the travel from 3rd -> 4th :twisted:

 

Now wait a goddamn second...

YOU made that?!?!?

 

Yeah, the lot even the knob.
Like I told you before mang, I'm an aircraft machinist and have CNC & CAD CAM facilities at my disposal.
It's a pitty that I live so far away hey!

 

COT DAMN!!!!
Good work!! laugh.gif

 

If you notice in the pic of the shifter installed there is a different clip holding the fitting on the pin for the side movement. That's because when those spring clips take off they go far & fast. The original 1 is up inside the dash somewhere I think lol.gif

 

yeah that shifter looks smooth brother. Great job. I gotta get transfered to a unit that has a hobby shop...lol. Portsmouth, VA here I come...lol

 

that's fvckin sexy man. good job.... why don't you mass-produce these? tongue.gif

 

I could make more but I'm down here in OZ. This is the sort of thing I thought I could help any local tib owners with.

 

that is a nice piece of hardware.
shipping to and from OZ is a pain,

how many hours would yo uhave to work to make 1 shifter?

 

damn, nice.

you should change the title to "My self-fabricated short shifter"

some people might look over the title and not be interested, but that is definately something worthy of props. good job.
