OK, I thought it would be easier to start a new thread, with a record of serious interest.
I'll summarize the short shifter kit using bullet points This is a PROPER short shifter, not a hack of the original stick 
-Increased shifter pivot point length (16mm)
-Spacer block with pins
-Lower shifter bush spacers (so as to retain the correct shifter bush height)
-Option to shorten top of shifter, and add extra thread such that the gear knob will sit at close to the stock height
-4 x longer bolts
You will need to supply (as needed/wanted/required)
-lower pivot shifter bush (white bush) = PN# 33548-31010
-upper shifter pivot bush (green bush) = PN# 33505-35020
-inner rubber shifter boot = PN# 33555-22050
All the consumable parts (such as the bushes and inner shifter rubber boot) can be bought from Toyota 
I have a quote for manufacturing costs, so now I need to work out if there is enough interest to cover the costs of the parts required. It looks like the total cost will be about $125 - $150 (this figure is highly dependent on the number of serious people interested, if it's less than 25 the demand probably doesn't exist to warrant me going ahead with production, I'll make a loss/not break even). I'm trying to keep it as cheap as possible!
The parts will be 3/4 Axis CNC machined, the spacer (with stainless steel pins) and bush spacers will be from alloy with the pivot extension being made from steel.
Be aware that this short shifter will be a modification to your existing gear shifter and will require you to send your gear shifter (or a spare shifter) to me (or I can send you the parts in kit form with instructions such that you, or a person with the necessary skills can perform the modification). I do not have a supply of shifters such that I can send them on an exchange basis, sorry!
Also, if there is demand for it at a later data it would be possible to get stock length lower pivots produced. This would enable you to convert the shifter back to stock throw. 
If you are serious (and I know there are a large number of people that are ), post your interest here. Once 10 people are happy to commit (it would be good to work out a deposit, however there is the fact that getting things done by a machinist often isn't the speediest of things ) I'll place an order if everyone is happy 
I am more than happy to answer any questions anyone has
Remember however, I'm not interested in time wasters, serious people may apply only 
for more information you can refer to THIS THREAD.
