if you look in his thread (http://micra.com.au/community/message.php?messageid=68091)
he said he bought it from this dude: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1//1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5337873294&icep_item=250859186240 The listing has finished but it still said 1 was available. Not sure, so maybe you should email him. Installation is not bad, just gotta get under the car and unbolt the thing lol but i think your heatshield, cat and piping will be in the way.. |

muzza WROTE: "Wats the going to be the difference between makita job and a proper short shIfter???" some people think that shoft shifters just mean it sits shorter. So people cut the top (where the gearknob sits) shorter so that it'll sit shorter. But infact, proper shoft shifters are longer towards the bottom giving it a shorter stroke and sit shorter. Man it makes a huge difference, i would recommend people getting one..Muz, that way you can take on that SSS again lol anyways if you look at Doom's one, thats a good way of doing it yourself if youre good at welding lol. |

muzza WROTE: "Wats the going to be the difference between makita job and a proper short shIfter???" i measured baguete,s shifter when it was in my possession muzza, and it had the same lever ratio as my cut one (3:1 iirc) so the throw is the same length (the distance between 1st and 2nd ect @ the knob), just that a cut one is lower down basically |
