You going to make your self one, Al?

 

[cupra.al]

yea i think so saves waiting for one to be made by forge or neuspeed and its probally half the price too,may go about reattaching the pin in a slightly different way but your idea is deffinatly an inspiration.

 

[Damoegan]

What way would you attatch the pin?

Mine is both interference fit and a bolt just for belts and braces.

whats that mean thats gone over my head a bit? lol
im thinking either weld the pin in or getting a different pin like the ones you get on a boot strut etc so that way i could put a nyloc nut on the otherside if i can find the right size pin.
might not work but if it does it saves me getting someone to put a thread on both the pin and the shifter.
or i can just get someone to put thread on the shifter and use the existing thread on the new pin if i can get one.

 

[Damoegan]

Interference fit means press fit, where the pin is slightley bigger than the hole its going into.
You could weld it but you cant put a nyloc on due to the design of the cable ends.

oh i see i miss having the use of a workshop with things like a press.

i mean put a nyloc on the opposite end of the ball which attaches to the cable or is that just immossible to do?
i dont want it to be a bodge i want it to be as close to perfect like yours but dont have the access to the sort of tools you do although im sure i know some one who can do the threads for me.
am i wrong to think maybe a tap and die kit would work?

 

[Damoegan]

The pin is not long enough to put a nyloc on the back mate.

You Tap and die would work though.

 

[Damoegan]

Got myself some second hand 20mm spacers.

They were in need of a good clean though .

So after a good clean and some Galve spray they look like this now

Galve spray

Finished results

Will be fitting them at the weekend.

Sweet that should finish the car off spot on!

Let me know if it makes any difference to the handling.

I could do with some of that spray for mine! Or just etch prime them, then paint them....

My rear hubs are starting to get a bit rusty too! Something I'll do one dry day.
