Hi guys !

I finally found the time to install the prototype for the L shaped lever !

It works great !
I'll drive it for a while to verify that the concept works, then the final product will be made out of aluminum with a removable insert to suit the shifter's side ball.

Here is the before/after video : https://youtu.be/qrJdOKEiz-o

The first part of the video shows that a lot of side-to-side movement is lost in play in the L shaped lever. Second part of the video shows the prototype installed, and all the side-to-side movement being transmitted to the shift cable !


Ben.

Looks Great Ben. I have one of your shifters and have found after a couple years I have side to side play I can't rid of. Looking forward to getting this new part. Put me on the list for one when you start making them.
