RHS Cover

[Bill D]

I tried a search but came up empty. I'm trying to find pictures of various ways to cover/hide the right hand shifter mechanism and cables/rods. I tried a Google search for originals, but didn't fare any better.

I would like to enclose my RHS somehow that closely resembles the original method. I know I'm limited somewhat, but with all the talent on this forum, someone should have something slick!

Thanks
Bill D

Bill,

I took the following "research" photos at the NEC last weekend, may be of some use to you.

The first 2 are of 1089 and the second 2 are of 111

Regards

Dave

Perfect! Thank you so much. Now, if I only knew if the the "box" went all the way to the floor.

Bill,

Some months back I'd inquired with Fran about the same issue. His response (as always) was 'no problem' and he said he'd conjure up something. Although I haven't seen the finished producet yet, am certain by now he has the solution either on one of his computers or a parts shelf.

As an aside, your ride is sure coming together well. It's been really great watching your journey!

Best,

T.

This is the covers we made for the Superformance GT40s, copied off an original car. Frank

Great picture Frank! Is the raised portion for the driver to rest his arm on while driving? It looks like it's quite a bit higher than the fuel tank.

It should sit on the inner edge of the sill panel, I think the item in the picture was not fully fixed, just pushed in for the photo, Frank

Bill I made my console lower as I am long in the arms.
I made it out of alloy sheet then had it covered it worked out well but not to hard to make it look original if you had to.

This pic of the red original car at the NEC Classic Car Show may give you a good view of the gearshift and "box" in an original car.
Cheers

These are great guys! Thanks a bunch! Now it's off to the garage to design/fab something.
