cool bro fresh metal :-)
Have you bought a short shift kit Preeny?
Bought one? Nah. I'll do my own. :)
It has been modified already, though..
Also going to look at making a rose joint linkage kit.
I welded up a heap of the holes in the bay today. Some that were there already, others that I put in it with the sheet metal drill. Haha.
No pics, but it all ended up pretty good. Really wishing I had a 0.6 MIG, though.
Now, to borrow that Bag Blaster.....

You replace the pins and bushes with rose joints and bolts. Gets rid of the clearance.. And removes play in the shifter. :)
Crappy phone pic, but you get the idea... :)

But, as it happens.. The air lines at the shop weren't large enough and couldn't supply enough volume.. So we packed up and went 'round to Steve's work..
