It’s a T5
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Blacky is there any chance of getting some measurements of this as I may have to do the same
need to find an opposite handed retainer clip tomorrow then I need to make a mount for the cable and that’s another fiddly job done

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Soooo…….. tried to put the gearbox in on my own yesterday- with predictable results , gearbox not in and back thrown out 
We had a club run today and when I got home I got the young bloke to give me a hand to get the box in like I should have done yesterday and this is what we found -

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
So - this now needs to happen , make the hole way bigger so the shifter can be removed easily from inside the car and use a VR/VS style Commodore rubber boot to seal from the floor to the gearstick.
As we all know , a jobs not done properly until it’s been done twice

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Just shorten the gearbox a bit.
Re: Red Rattler Revamp
What about the dogleg shifter extension, will it still do the job blacky?

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Haven’t built a shifter yet , going to use the old one to keep it looking the same - will sort that out once the seat goes back in so it in the right spot.

Then chopped up a bit of patio tube to fill in the middle bit
Used the old bit to get heights sorted
Cut the old captive nuts out and cleaned them up
Cut tack cut off cut again tack some more repeat
