Thanks Pat, Bob great stuff...

About the shifters. CAV Canada has completed the new Right Hand Shift mechanism to fit in the recessed sill box. Since the CAV has wider seats there is no room to run the shifter beside the sill, also running the shifter through the fuel cell portion of the chassis didn't appeal to me.

Previously in RHD applications a stainless steel open sided box hand to be welded into a pocket on the sill to make room for the original CAV/Audi shifter. Evolution being what it is, here we go...

The shifter mounts on a stainless steel plate that is tig welded (four smallish beads - no heat build up) to the side of the sill box. It has six tapped holes so the shifter can be positioned over a three inch range.

The shifter operates on a 1:1 ratio so it's as direct and travels the same arch across the shift pattern as if you had the genuine Ford GT40 type shifter in your car. The stick can be any length you preffer. Maybe a bit long in this pic, however it's the floor mounted stick just to get the pictures out.

So if you're building a RHD car and want to get away from central shift, or are in mood to convert your car to RHD, give me a call.

Cheers
