Propshaft\gear linkage

Just started looking at fitting the prop and gear linkage kit and the two look quite close together. Just wondered if other people have found the same thing, I am using the MK gear linkage kit and my prop is the thicker sierra type.

Cheers Hellfire, can I be cheeky and ask if you have any pics you could send me via email that show the gear linkage including the lever setup etc and a bigger pic of the pic above.

mailus@shortshouse.co.uk

They would be really really helpful.

thanks,
Rich.

They are in our website build diary December near the top and March near the bottom. Some are enlargeable from the site.

Cheers

thanks Hellfire,

I think that the problem is that I was trying to get the lever in the middle of the tunnel and it seems to be ok if I move it to the left. I guess it's all pretty close down the tunnel anyway.

thanks,
Rich.

hope you haven't done your brake pipe yet and have the same problem hellfire and i had. I put a slight bend in the long rod to keep it hard over to the left of the tunnel

May well have the same issue with the brake light sensor, fingers crossed but I must say I am a little worried!!

May get away with it looking at it, can always move the pipe lower or bend it round the linkage if I need to.
