Today I decided not to use the cableshift, instead I am gonna use a Porsche shifter.

I had a Porsche shifter, shiftrod and tunnelpiece laying around, so why not use IT Smiley
I used a 914 seat to find the wright position for the shifter.
Before putting in the shiftrod, I had to remove all the pipes that where in the tunnel.

Today I found some time to work on the shift system again.

First I turned the shiftstick, it was the wrong way around Embarrassed
Then I made the piece of the shiftstick, that is under the hinge, longer. this way the shifting is shorter and the movement at the gearboxside is better.
Then I made the shiftingrod at the wright length, last thing to do was; find the wright place/position of the shiftrod bush.
The place of the shiftrod bush is essential with these sideshift gearboxes, it took me several attempts but it works Cool

Because te tunnel was cut open pretty far, I took out all the pipes (there where more pipes in there then I thought) and then cleaned and painted the inside of the tunnel.
I planned the new alu fuellines outside the tunnel, but I opened the tunnel to install the shiftrod and porsche shifter, so why not fit the fuellines inside the tunnel Wink

After I remembered that I was gonna use an hydraulic clutch, I opened the tunnel again Embarrassed and placed the clutchline in it.

Then I started closing the tunnel again and fit the shifter mount nicely.

Somehow I've never seen this thread until today. I just looked through the whole thing.... that's a lot to take in!! Shocked
And I thought we used a lot of Porsche bits on AssHull's car... we've got all the cute and fuzzy parts, but you've got it Porsche to the core!

Fantastic work!

Today I finally closed the tunnel for the last time (I hope). I welded back all the pieces I cut out a few weeks ago, finished the gearstick mount and closed the handbrake hole.

I wanted to install the fuelline bulkhead connections, so first I had to take out the gearbox, weld the "attheendofthechassis" plate further in the car and shorten it.

After that I could drill the holes and fit the bulkhead fittings.

When I was working on the gearshifter, I reinstaled the (not used) heatingknob.
After looking at this knob I thought Huh....I should do something with that.
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Here's the plan; use the knob for the emergency shutdown Roll Eyes
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I made a hole in the tunnel (again)  Shocked and installed the emergency switch inside the tunnel.
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

It's installed, working and the shifter has enough space Cool
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The screws will be replaced by little bolts, the knob will be engraved and there will be a cable attached (to the outside of the car).
