no problem Brad.
i will ship it to you as soon as i get them of the car.
it is not that complicated to build a nice sifter linkage. the only thing they needed to do, is to make the hole in the same size of the shiftier cable rod, withe matching thread.
in that case you will only have to screw it on, instead using the Allen screws.
the cable it self is flexible, and at is end, it has metal rod with plastic tread.



the hole in the linkage was too small to go over the plastic tread, and too big when the plastic part was shaved. maybe it will work fine with the "all metal" version of the cable. in the replacement cable i have, the tread is part of the rod, and made of metal.
on top of that, the socket it self (i don't have another word to describe the part in the linkage that hose the sifter ball) is very stiff, and you can feel it when moving the shiftier. once mounted, it is very hard to remove for fine tuning of the shiftier.
PM me your address, and i let you know the shipping costs by the end of the week.
hope to start working on it today.
