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.
Tight as but oot now... Note deep socket
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)
