Yep, that's the base I use (same supplier), then I take them completely apart, grease them, put them together the right way (the lever points on the wrong side...) and modify them to fit the ball bearing instead of the loose bushings :)

So 2 for you Particlewave ?

Yep, 2 for me ;)

I'm in for 1, sending pm with info.

Ben006 02-03-2016 03:55 PM

Wow, I would never have thought that it would take so little to reach 10 orders!

I'll leave the group buy open until this week end (unless a lot more people want them), I can make a few more if I order the bearings soon enough (it's the longest thing to arrive...).

Thank all of you for your trust and enthusiasm!

Hi !

We are 11 now.
We've reach our goal, that's awesome!

I will order the shifters tomorrow as I said.

The bearings have been shipped today, but they usually take very long to arrive compared to the shifters.

I'll take one for our 2000 base!

Ben006 02-05-2016 03:06 PM

Good :)

Please send me a PM with your Info.

There is just one left now ! I won't have enough bearings for more than 13.

OK, I missed the last one... so, count me in for 2 this round!

BrokenLinkage 02-05-2016 10:17 PM

Dang it! I guess I'll help start the next round.

Ben006 02-06-2016 06:32 AM

Don't worry, I'll contact you if a place opens.
You might be able to grab one!


Ben.

Ben006 02-06-2016 06:39 AM

Shifters ordered ;)

Ben006 02-14-2016 08:25 AM

The base shifters are on their way !
I should receive the Ball Bearings soon too ;)

Ben.

Ben, would you sell just the bearing and mounting? I'm getting rid of my eBay short-shifter and just bought a 997 shifter that I'd like to fit your ball bearings to.

pkp4911 02-15-2016 05:23 AM

I'm in on your next order. Thanks. 03 S.

It won't work on a stock shifter, sorry. I can modify a short shifter kit, but not the OEM plastic one.

Good Pkp, I don't when I will do another one, but I'll tell everyone here when I do :)

When you get another round going, count me in!
Thanks in advance,
Randy

Jgkram 02-17-2016 11:46 AM

Shouldn't take long to get another 10 or so lined up. Please count me in for the next round as well. Thanks...

Please count me in for the next round as well. Thanks...

Ben006 02-19-2016 01:07 PM

The shifters are ready to go to the machine shop, I should bring them Monday :)

I received an e-mail for a member, he's out unfortunately, so I have two set available.
I will contact the next two on my list once the packages are ready.

Ben.
