Also interested if you run another batch. I tried to buy Brian's a few month's ago, but he had promised it to Doc, who wound up selling it to someone else. Doh!

Dave

Sorry, forgot to let you know.

My kit arrived weeks ago.

Thanks very much

Andy

Hi Dave,

I would also be interested in one of these, but I suspect I'm too late. Thought I would register my interest just in case.

Thanks

Alex

[Joe]

Mine has arrived. Looks great, its really well engineered and I can't wait to fit it.

Thanks

Joe

[Jimmer]

I think mine's arrived. Dad was moaning about another package to add to the pile.
Thanks Dave

Well, finaly took the plunge yesterday and installed the shifter.

I read somewhere of a bloke who claims he can now do it in 30 minutes. Well, it took me 6 hours But then again i go very slowly since i'm not that experienced. I had some troubles to take the controlbox off. The otherwise perfect instructions say that i should have a look in the servicemanual.... So i went back home, fired up the computer, opened the manual.... only to discover that i have to remove 4 bolts (those where allready on the workbench)... I assumed that it was the seal that was a bit sticky, but was a bit afraid of using violence. It came off easily once i knew where to look (Dave, if you can ad a line in the instructions for blokes like me, it will save some people from my experiences )

After removing the old bits and replacing them with the new ones it became obvious how well of a job Dave did. There is not much room to work with and he found very creative solutions in modifying the transfer ratio (Hmmzz. is this correct English???)

Thanks for an educational day of work, i am very pleased with the results!
One happy shifter added in the Netherlands

Hi Dave,

I would also be interested in one of these, but I suspect I'm too late.
Only last week I discovered the short shifter by getting to ride a Elante where it was installed! What a difference!
My friend HJ2 is very pleased !!!

So let us know if you still want to make some!

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback HJ2
I'll have a look and maybe revise / add a line - stopping short of using ultra-violence of course

All reserves should by now have PM's
