Have you bought a short shift kit Preeny?

[Preen59]

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.

[Preen59]

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.....

just out of curiosity what is a rose joint linkage? never heard of it

[Preen59]

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...

[Preen59]

Today was the day of the blasting.. Pity it was so hot, really..

Loading up..





Then we went 'round to Steve's old man's panel shop, unloaded and got sorted out..








Got the gear ready...




(Safety first..)



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..
