    Bulkhead fitting kindly supplied from Cable Company beside the IP67 sealing grommet. Bulkhead fitting is very adjustable.

    Now I removed the turret for relocating the ball joint to shorten the shift (note the cap needs removed to get this part separated), even if you don't plan to relocate the ball joint and your happy with the shift length, its worth taking it off and tightening the nut in there as myn was quite loose, solved the problem when put it back together.

    Pressed the old ball joint out by putting a socket over it and squeezing the shaft with an M5 stainless bolt, was very very very tight, need heat too.

    See the new M8 (BZP) Steel Ball Joint and its proposed new location. Had to cut off the counter balance to drill and tap the hole, Does anyone know if I really need that? What does it do?



    Counter balance off 6.8mm hole drilled and Now tapped M8.

    Since then Ive ordered my cables, should be here by the 4th November. Turret is back on and everything is ready to trial.

    If you have cables the conversion is a bolt on job (unless you weld up the bulkhead i suppose but you could just drill 23mm holesaw thru the bulkhead instead)

    I have preordered another 2sets of cables if anyone would like to buy a set info below....

    40Series M16 Bulkhead Fittings Both ends, terminated M6, IP67 sealing grommet fitted.
    Cable 1 1058mm - 85mm Travel - £37.50+vat
    Cable 2 958mm - 65mm Travel - £37.50+vat
    M6 10mm Ball Joint Socket - £3/each (4No. required)
    IP67 Sealing Grommets to suit 10-13mm Cable, 23mm hole in bulkhead (final OD being 28mm) to suit 1mm bulkhead thickness - £3/each
    Dont have the M8 ball joint tho, ebay for them.

    NOTE - remaining cables have not been made yet so you can choose any length / route.


    PM if interested.
