Dolomiti precision Lotus gear shifter - 2004 > S2/S3 Toyota Elise/Exige / Evora?

[IanA]

Developed by an Exige 260 owner in the Italian Dolomites.

Saw this shifter and was impressed with the engineering. Metal ball and cup, roller bearings, infinitely adjustable lever throw - Zero shifter lost motion .

Understand that he can produce such for the Evora, but will require different frame to suit the Evora handbrake.

I will be installing one in my Elise soon.

If interested, contact Manuel for more specs / pics.

Ciao IanA,

Yes there is an "old" discussion on here.  Anyone interested, please take a look over there before continue here. 

Thanks, Manuel

On the 1st photo of the post the shifter is in standard grey color.

Possible to customize your shifter as wanted (with extra costs).

I can make your customize render:

 

With about 4 weeks lead time it will be ready:

 

So you can fit the shifter on your car (here into an RHD Elise:

 

At the moment only 4 avaible, then it will be out of stock. (I'm evaluating if make another batch)

Latest pic of Aust installation of the Dolomiti RHD shifter.

Beautiful tig welded stainless frame.

This one is going to be exposed, hence the colours and the button mount.

Shift mechanism is as per oem type but with durable pivot and precise movement on roller bearings, plus quality materials, make the difference.

Manuel can also supply spherical rod ends for oem cables as seen here that come standard on SSC cables shown in the pic.

Detail of CNC machined switch support for hand brake (left side),TIG welded too:

 

And some details of the cross-reference, CNC machined with centesimal precision (the 1 on the top with grey anodization):

 

No compromise on the Dolomiti Shifter: If something expensive had to be done to make my shifter the best, it was done.

The best material and the best realization process.

Is it the same handbrake frame for Toyota S2/S3 and V6 Exige?

Does selection of shortest shift require more lever force?

[manuel.400]

Yes, same frame until 2017 cars (when Lotus made its exposed shifter).

In shortest configuration a slightly extra effort is needed.

some render examples:

The overall weight is less than 3 kg.

2 months later I received it and I'm very satisfied with the quality of manufacture and the anodization of some elements.
I let you judge with these pictures!

As far as the shifter feeling is concerned, it's much more precise, I'm fully satisfied.

[IanA]

Looks great. Can you advise what lever throw you have set to - Shift and crossgate.

This seems to be the full solution for Blue pivot ball failure on any factory 07>17 shifters, or for 04>07 cars that just want more precision and to be able to adjust the lever throw.

[manuel.400]

Hi to all,

I have ready to ship only 1 Black/Blue kit and 4 Black/Red kits. The rest is SOLD OUT.

I will make another production batch that will be ready within the end of 2022.

If someone could be interested, as usual contact me to info@dolomitishifter.com

Grazie, Manuel

Has anyone upgraded an Evora S1 shifter (e.g. to Inokinetic) and has an OEM spare for Manuel to measure? Would be great to be able to fit this to Evora!
