Welder, some uj's and a lot of mocking up, swearing, starting again and eventual success.

KAD sell a direct replacement iirc, but cant see it on there site.

If your clever enough you can DIY but as said KAD and Carl make kits.

In that pic mate is the kit KAD sell.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

minispeed sell it, i was looking at KAD stuff earlier

I had to move the handbrake lever back. That then posed the problem of the need for a shorter cable. I then adopted the solution from a friend, of using a rigid rod instead.

i just bent my handbrake to one side :) , but you will have to learn a new way of releasing the hand brake as you will graze all the skin of your hand otherwise.

You can just see what i came up with for the handbrake.

Is that just a little bracket to lift the front of the handbrake up simon?

yes mate it was not hard.

Easy yes, but I questioned the reduction in lever action. I settled on moving the whole lot

Thanks thats good to know, i'll leave mine and do the same if necessary.

excellent, I'll look up the kits. thanks chaps

I've made my own, as my gear turret is higher and a little bit further back that where the kit put it.

Its a fair amount of work though, lots of machining and threading of UJ's and steel rod.

Highly satisfying once its done, i just need someone to tig a couple of bits of ally and a 1/2" bearing onto my remote housing and it'll be done.

I also had to move my handbrake back about 12", should all work ok :)

Internal gear linkage and tower,
£140

This internal gearstick setup uses a lightweight ally tower that lifts the gear stick higher into a more easy to reach position, another benefit is that the origional stick can be shortened to suit individual requirements and as a result acheives a shorter throw for the user,

Utilizes a single length adjuster on one end for fine tuning , coupled with precision UJ's held in place by grub screws ,

the origional gearstick housing simply bolts on using the thread s that hold the base plate in position , [ longer bolts supplied ],

comes supplied with all nuts bolts and grubs needed to fit,

Easy to fit, no welding on of brackets, simply bolts to the side of the tunner on later cars
