Tailhousing shortening

[bob wiggins]

Does anybody know where I can get this done to a type 9 locally ? Thanks in advance

[iandq]

there's been one like this on ebay for weeks, the guy wants a lot of money for it ( about 600 I think ) perhaps he would take an offer? alpha welding in bensham lane Croydon would probably do the welding up but you would need to do the cutting etc yourself I would think. any machine shop would shorten the selector shaft I would think.

cheers, ian.

Cheers ill give them a ring

Anyone know how much has to come off the selector shaft ??

Excuse my ignorance but why do you want it shortened?

[bob wiggins]

So I haven't got to cut my shell where he gearstick hole has to be moved

I have seen this done on type 9 boxes on 3J website

I think i would just do the mod on the tunnel as its alot cheaper and if the box goes bang you can replace it quickly and cheaply you can always revert it back if needed anyway if you cut it out and turn it 180 degrees using the template that retroford used.
