My other 1303 GL

[Steve C]

Hi

The G50 shifter bends back towards the driver, so in 2nd & 4th my elbow was next to my body. I am about 6.1 and a bit, but I'm old so I'm shrinking.

Body is now temporarily on the pan so the panel beater can give it a tug to line the front 1/4 back up again, once he's finished with it I will get the pan finished off and painted.

On Wednesday I'm driving to Birdsville in outback Queensland for music concert http://www.bigredbash.com.au/bigredbash/index , after I get back from Birdsville I have 2 weeks of work then a week long VW show http://volkswagenspectacular.com/, then after that I'm back into getting my bug back on the road.

Entries are open Wednesday for the Snowy Mountains 1000 in November, if I cant get my bug ready in time I will take my rice rocket daily a 180SX Nissan.

Your shifter rod, effect on shifter sweep/pattern, is this because of you using the Porsche rod itself?

The reason for the questions are, at some point I will be headed in that direction. My co-worker that sold me the G-50 also has the shifter and rod to sell. I have been thinking on a more straight line shift rod install. At present I have two u-joints for the same purpose. I may even sink the thifter lower into the tunnel, in order to attain a better straightness; but this is all in my head.

Thank you for putting up with me.

Indeed. I straigthened the shifter for that reason (and used a 30% shift throw reduction kit). Problem solved
