4 Speed gear box remote shifter
Is there a remote gear linkage still available for the Ford 4 speed xflow box, to bring the lever back a bit?
I believe there used to be one but I can't find it listed anywhere now.
A second hand one would be fine!

 Hi John , welcome to what is the best site around - a search on here will throw up a link to Dave Andrews site and a means of making a very locost
quick shifter.
Strangely I have just sent you an e mail before coming on here!

Yes,exactly one of those!
Is it home made or bought?
Sorry, of course it is home made..just noticed the ball joint under the new gear lever!

You see all sorts in the Locost race paddock. Mine had a bar bolted to the original lever which then slid through a rose joint. It then had another
piece of bar welded at 90 degrees at a position to suit your reach. This short piece of bar was threaded to take a gear knob; a drilled and tapped
cue ball in my case. Worked a treat!

I'll have to have a go to make one, though I am afraid of ruining the existing lever in the process.
I doubt if a replacement would be easy to find.

Remember to remove reverse gate from gearbox.
I found i have to do that then fit a spacer on the old lever to bring it up otherwise as the operated the lever youd get an up and down movement as
you have to loose the spring off the lever (which used to push the lever up so you did not get reverse when not required)
