I originally wanted one of his but he was unable to provide one at the time. I went with the Ebay one instead. A little less side to side slop from my eBay shifter would make me happy and if it fits...

Hi !

Yes it will fist almost any short shifter, and soon even the stock shifter with the addition of a small bushing.

They are almost ready ! I need to pack them and send them out to Uniwerks !

I ran into a "problem" though...

I thought I could machine the shouldered bolts cleanly, but it's very hard to make something that works great, looks clean, and that I can make 200 of without having to quit my job

It's no big deal though, the only difference is that a 10mm hole needs to be drilled to make room for the threaded part of the bolt.
Here it is, cut bolt :

Normal bolt :
