diy short shifter

[buster]

got a little bored today whilst round the z shed so as you do found something to mod....luckily we had a spare 350 gear stick lying about so hay presto "short shifter"

 

so first job was to strip it down and cut the lower part of the shifter

 

 

 

best add a few marker lines to help keep inline.

 

next up was to fine a little bit of bar in the metal bin....i decided to add a length of 12mm to the shifter

 

 

 

next up was to weld them all in place....now welding is not my forte but i gave it a shot lol

 

 

 

 

 

now at this stage i am lucky to have a keyser on hand who stuck it in the lathe to turn it down to a recognisable shifter lol

 

 

then it was a simply case of reassemble and fit

 

got to say for a few hours messing about i am more than happy with the result...shifts are definitely shorter and more enjoyable 

 

thanks goes to keyser for his supervision pmsl

Ha! Funny enough I have an ebay short shifter sat on the side I havent got the courage to fit on my own...

 

Good mod though guys as always!

Always fun having Buster in the Zed shed

 

Gotta give him credit for having a go but his welding does need practice

 

Mind you it may not be pretty but he got good penetration (first time in a while I'm sure  )  and it was strong enough (didn't stop me taking the Pi** though

 

Good effort mate hope it works well - not tried it yet!
