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 ?

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!


Ben.

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.


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.

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

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.
