[ronin]

Try this...... is there a limit to the number of pics that can be posted ?

Looks like terminator's leg! Nice work

[ronin]

Thanks, there is zero slop with a very secure feel, it's nice to have the selector right there next to the wheel....

The fact that I no longer elbow my friends makes me sad...

Didn't you set up an auto box with paddles?

That looks neat, great bit of fabrication.

I did setup a paddle shifter but it was with a E153 5 speed gearbox, still using a clutch peddle..... I had issues with the Clutchmasters twin disc and a floating release bearing that moved back under vibration pushing the slave cylinder rod in..... This caused a no clutch peddle pressure and the sequential shift would happen when ever the peddle was depressed..... 2 gearboxes later I discovered the clutch release issue... I did figure out a fix and that is to put the shift saftey switch on the clutch release gearbox lever and not the peddle but enough R$D

So I desided to go back to basics with a twist.......

It looks nice, bet it gives a quick shift so close to the wheel.

[ronin]

It's just move your hand a few inches to make a shift and you're done.... Oh and I use a much stronger/smoother cable also..

Here's one for you guys on the wrong side....

I like the way you managed to take that pic from the passenger side on the move with the speed off the clock!

I forgot to mention the new Simrad autopilot I installed.....
