Cable gearchange conversion now (mostly) complete, and working very nicely right away (I haven't tinkered with it at all, and it's selecting all the gears very nicely).
I'm sure I will play about with things to shorten the throw, to stiffen up the gear shifter itself, and to prevent the cables detaching when shifting in anger, but it's immediately better than what I had in there;

Thanks - that's an interesting solution. I think space might be too tight to achieve that routing on mine. I've spoken to Matt at Simpson exhausts and he's confident he can design and make something which sits much closer to my sump and will solve the problem.
I borrowed a Tony Law exhaust manifold this week and it's nearly identical to the BTB one I have now, so that won't help me at all.

I don't think you will regret going with Simpson Race Exhausts. Mine is really nice and a pleasure to work on, it's never given me any hassle and has been on and off more times than I can count.

If they do make you a manifold maybe talk first about the coupling. Mine is a slip joint so the whole system has to come off to remove the manifold. It doesn't take long, but a V-band would make life easier at times.
Good thought, thanks Craig.
As my system is is too loud anyway, I may end up getting them to make a whole new manifold and system, I've got a V band on mine already and it does make life easier.
Thanks for the PM regarding Ebay, I was not aware of the problems you mentioned.
