IMG_0007 My brass shifter bushings from TwosRus.com. I love these things! Crisp, crisp shifting.
IMG_0008Seen in this photo is the bellcrank outer fulcrum. The stock nylon block that normally sits between the bellcrank and the shift arm was missing. This resulted in a huge amount of slop at the shifter. I machined a brass pillow block and it really does the trick. Red stuff is grease.

IMG_0010A twosRus.com 'necked' ali shift knob. Dramatic improvement over the stock knob. The weight of this unit is perfect, it feels perfect underhand. Notice the addition of the short-throw adapter I fabbed up.
IMG_0011 Shifting is a joy with this setup, the throw is super-quick, the feel is 'snick-snick' and there is no slop whatsoever! Loverly!!!
IMG_0012 PRETTY!
IMG_0013 Simple short-throw extender made out of a piece of steel with 2 holes drilled in it.
IMG_0014 One last view of the rollbar for now. And yes, before you mention it to me, the chassis will be braced into this point much better than you see it here. :-)
