    Think im going to do this while my engines out this week. Do you lot buy your own quickshift arm or buy one like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-N...item20c7813ffc
    Would anyone mind explaining what the difference is? Im guessing on the quickshift theres less distance between the male rose joints? if thats the case, would anyone mind giving me the measurements as id rather have a go at making my own first before forking out £40,
    cheers

    Quick shift can be achived by just drilling new holes in your existing linkage, so no need to buy a special one:
    Drilling this hole makes the backwards and forwards motion quicker (less distance)


    And not really necessary, but can be handy, drilling these holes allows for less left to right movement:



    Using positions 1 & 4 is standard levels of movement.
    Using positions 2 & 5 reduces the distance of the gear stick needs to travel the least change over standard.
    Using positions 2 & 4 reduces the distance of the gear stick needs to travel a bit more.
    Using positions 3 & 5 reduces the distance of the gear stick needs to travel even more so.
    Using positions 3 & 4 reduces the distance of the gear stick needs to travel the most change over standard.
    Using positions 1 & 5 increases the distance.
    You may find that using the reduced positions means some gears are harder to engage or distinguish between, this especially so when using a
    Cavalier Gearstick and shaft, if so, the best solution is to retain the standard position (i.e. holes 1 & 4), but this is all trial and error and all to
    your personal preference.

    Right heres my attempt i bought these rose joints a couple of years ago now but they sat in a bag in my garage but as im tryin got get my 1/4mile times down thought i would have a go!

    So im using M10 threaded bar and M10 female rosejoint, then i have M12 male that i will be doing the same as loggy boys with the one up and one down and im going to weld x2 M12 bolts (with the head cut off) and i will be doing the shortshift mod but do i have to shorten the threaded bar or does it stay the same?

    Quick pic still got to drill M12 holes tommorow!
