Looks like I will bite the plastic bullet to replace my Jaide kit to Renegade. My Jaide cast adapter was 1.5" thick but the Renegades are ~.625" so I will be (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif)
How'd you do it? Got pics? Anyone have a spare side shifter rod? |

I do, I was going to give it to Randal after Andy FUBAR'd his original one...it is not perfect, but it'll work if you repair the setscrew tapered hole........ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2-1108406387.jpg) |

Mike,
Thanks. How do you repair a tapered hole? weld fill and drill with a tapered drill? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I'm thinking this may be more involved since the shifter length is determined by the placement of the engine to firewall and the thickness of the adapter. No two will be alike and how do you adjust it after you weld it? Design a bracket for fine adjustment to length? |

Felix,
I have a "deal" for you. Stop 90% of your headaches and let me come down and help you out. I want those flares. Lets work out a fair labor rate and let me work them off. There is enough "play" in the STOCK shifter adjustment to take .250 out of the length if not more. As long as the coupler doesnt hit the firewall when you go for 5th..the rod doesnt need to be shortened. B |

Oh man, if you offered this a couple of weeks ago I would have driven a 914 to the WCC. I plan to trade the front f/g flares for formed metal flares, pretty much the opposite of Bill's work. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) The rears will be available if you could still use them... BTW, the cast Jaide adapter is 1.5" thick to house the starter gear. All the machined adapters are less than half of that. |

If I go Renegade or KEP, I'll sell the whole kit N kaboodle. It's a sweet set up if you don't need anything bigger than 8". I like the cast housing, Chevy starter, and the cast w/p housing with tensioner... I'll post on another thread or in the classifieds... |
