My DIY Short Shifter

[Yaboy]

nice work , could I get a pin ? would much rather drill a hole than pull out 80 quid .

 

[Yaboy]

anyone got any pics on how this is done im half way there just dont wanna get it wrong

 

[Yaboy]

anyone know were I can get one of them bolt pins ?

Just use bolt and nuts to achieve the same effect

 

[Yaboy]

what size would you say to use 8mm and how far shall I drill the hole dont want it so short if you know what I mean

 

[LEE69]

Did you see the red x on the picture?

40%-50% along (ish)

 

[Yaboy]

yea but is that gonna make it a bit too short and nothcy ? would I be better off removing the rivet and bringing it slightly closer

I just drilled mine, thought "yeah that will do" no notchyness at all.
Be less throw closer to the original, your choice

guys need some help with this, removed shifter drilled hole and put the bolt on, problem is when i go to put the shifter back on i cant get it back on. my question is does it slide into the grooved pin easily or does it require some force?

Line it up and tap it gently or the nut should pull it down
Came of easy enough?
The head of the bolt you used isn't catching on anything is it?
