Yes it allows you to select reverse gear just as it would with the gear lever direct on the box i used one for 2 years on my type 9

Yes, I have used a remote extension from a Triumph Herald gearbox. It bolts to the top of the Triumph gearbox normally. I used the back end of it (it
has a cast alloy housing that I cat in half) bolted into the transmission tunnel and then the operating shaft that runs forward normally, I fitted to
the cut down Ford gearstick. I removed the dovetail wedge shaped insert that is in the Ford gearbox as a reverse detent and relied on the Triumph
system which relies on pushing the gearstick down before selecting reverse. I will try and find an old Locost Owners Club magazine where I posted a
drawing of it. Done 1,100 miles in the car so far and it works a dream.

That would be brilliant if you could please. I think a picture would say a thousand words as they say. Many thanks
