Here's why I was asking for pictures of G50 shifters. I took many ideas and put them together to come up with this. The basis issue is that with the diffuser in place it restricts the room for the shifter linkages. The standard kit issued stuff no doubt would work but it requires cutting holes in the diffuser panels. I figured that if I was going to use the diffuser then why cut it up.
So the cables need to run parallel to the gearbox to clear the diffuser on the L/H side. I got the idea for a bell-crank system from somebody here, thanks! I also didn't like the way the big cable on top was attached to the shifter rod so I made a completely different mount and rod attachment part.
I'm about half done in these pictures. The big cable pieces are complete and I beginning to make the mounts for the little one. The painted stuff is done. The bare pieces aren't.
I'm also working on my welding so be kind. Some of it isn't pretty but it won't break, it's all 4130 CM.
These pics didn't come out very well. When this project is complete I'll post some better ones of the whole system.
