Thanks.

I am looking forward to get the prices.

I have talked a friend of mine who has a CNC and asked for him to produce this set and the answer was positive.
Now the question is:
Which material should it be built from? Aircraft Alluminium? Stainless Steel? Any other ideas?

I think the kit from Japan was just in aluminium so that should be fine. No need to go for stainless steel.

Can confirm it is alloy.
Managed to tighten the linkage on mine up on Saturday but for some reason it causes the left cable to fowl the top of the tunnel. Can still get all the gears but 1st feels like it hits something when engaging. Not a real problem though,.

What modification can be done to fix it?

I would like to see detailed photos of it fitted to another car to see if my fitting is correct....although it looks pretty hard to get it wrong!

Thanks! :smoke:

Referring to the discussion about the material:

The brackets of the "kit from japan" are definitly made of aluminium. Of course I don't know what kind of aluminum it is.
The bolts look like as they are made of stainless steel. I wouldn't make the bolts out of aluminium... :thinking-011: "normal steel" bolts should also work, as far as they are in the inside of the car... and you may grease them a little.

Saluti, Martin
