I might take that headlight out and see if I can stretch the metal around the opening with the bezel fixed in place.

All folk will be seeing is tail-lights anyway, Dave....

Bit of the Ol tiger seal behind that Dave after repairing the hole, job done

the fit looks fine dave but you gotta get a pukka screw in there, that is one thing i hate when the bodgers stick any old woodscrew in etc
looks naff

Yeah I will take care of that no worries. But couldn't be bothered to go out to get paint today so tidied up a few other things instead. Fitted bits of trim etc.

One thing I did do was make a little ally box for the 5 volt power supply I made to power the MAP sensor I have fitted on the intake. I have fixed the box up under the dash out of sight.

I also ran wires for the LM-1 recorder meter under the center console so that the meter can sit in the console box when recording during a run.
It will be recording air/fuel ratio, RPM, and manifold vacuum and the software will plot those together on a graph. I am going to try and blag one of our old laptops from work to display the results at the track.

I ran an audio jack cable for an ipod into the console box too.

Almost forgot. I got the console top to fit flush around the shifter as well.

top job on that that shifter dave, is it sat on the original slap stick mount? i gather you cut some of the ally casing on the shifter cover to raise it ?

Dave-R · Post by **Dave-R** » Sun Mar 08, 09 6:59 pm

There are a LOT of mods to the shifter cover to be honest.

challenger · Post by **challenger** » Sun Mar 08, 09 7:08 pm

so is it sat on the original mount or not? im looking to change mine at some point so info would be of help, hence why i ask

Dave-R · Post by **Dave-R** » Sun Mar 08, 09 9:15 pm

Oh sorry. I welded in a base plate for the shifter. Had to do some minor cutting of the stock metalwork.

thanks mate, looks like its a lot less hassle fitting a hurst quarter stick than say a b&m unit

Very neat Dave

looks similar to AllKillers cuda

We're hoping the Hurst ProMatic we bought last weekend will fit under our stock console. The shifter's certainly lower-profile but the console maybe higher too.

Looking excellent Dave, the headlamp alignment is hardly noticeable and once the pukka screw is in there, it will look great.
