A bit of interest recently - must be the good weather :-)
So I've bitten the bullet on this one and decided go ahead with the next batch.

No longer a list as such, just send me a PM or post your interest here and I'll get back to you on availability.

Cheers

Had mine fitted today, complete with S2 cables, to be sure of reliability.....and it's absolutely superb, like a completely new gearbox! :clap:

Maybe not.

My AB cables were stiff mainly because the bush on the crosscable was too tight a fit.
You can ease this off with a fine needle file then tidy up with some fine wet & dry & finally add a blob of grease.
Takes about 10 minutes once you've got the intake pipe & coolant tank out of the way.

...or if you're fitting Dave's shortshift at the same time, it probably adds about 5 minutes to the job. :D

Take a picture of the cables / control box where they attach to the gearbox (just behind the Air filter), post it on here and I'll let you know ;-)

The standard long throw feels bloody awful. :D
Where in London are you? If you can make it to the Ace Cafe for this month's meet on the 21st, it should be quite easy to tell.

Thanks DeeAitch. Thanks rip.

Unfortunately, the man is in London but the car isn't. Will take a pic when I get a chance to, next week.

Dave, just installed your kit that I purchased a while back. Not sure why I waited so long to install it. Pretty simple. Only took about 1/2 hour. What a difference!!!

Thanks again.
