Does anyone have any thoughts on how you could extend the gate throw on a Brandtwood shifter that was built for an Audi 5000?
I took a risk and purchased one through Fran. Why a risk? Quite simply as many of you know I have a Audi 01X and needed a solution. I heard from another forum member that he had used one on his 01E and appears to shift well. Allied to that, as I have a GTD I need a slim shifter to go in the dog-leg area (the Corolla mechaism is too wide and interferes with the tank)
To me it appears that I need approximately 13/16 of gate shift between the reverse gate through to 5/6, and the throw being produced on the shifter currently is approx 1/16th too short.
Any options or thoughts from people? Some I have thought of are:
1/ A mechnism at the selector end to amplify the shift movement
2a/ My own build shifter
2b/ A rod/cable hybrid - and the the reason I say that is due to the selector shaft beingon the wrong side for a right hand drive car
Thanks
