wilbo666 Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: May 2002	W5X short shifter designs Fri, 04 February 2005 08:33 Ok people, one day in the future I will be planning to developing a short shifter for my W58 gear box (I have access to a mill, a lathe and a welder so have the facilities). My design at the moment is to cut the shifter and weld a piece of mild steel round stock equal to the spacer being inserted and the gasket between the spacer and the gearbox mounting face (see next paragraph). The spacer is little more than a plate of aluminum that had a hole in the middle and 4 holes around the outside. It will also have two holes in the sides new 'prongs' for a better word (and if the existing 'prongs' in the gearbox shifter position will have to be removed to insert the spacer, see next paragraph ) Baisic design of spacer A small circular spacer will have to be made to allow the existing shifter bush to seat at the correct level still. Again this will have to be the same height as the spacer and gasket combined. Apparently Skip, Ed and bigworm (for a T50, did you ever get around for doing one for your W58? And ur web hosting had gone/changed?) have made/had short shifters made for them. Can anyone recommend the height of the spacer? I think 16mm will be a good starting point, but the help of other peoples first hand experiences would be great Cheers Wilbo [Report message to a moderator]
