Source for shifter parts? Options

[Eddie914]

What is the best source for shifter rebuild parts for a '71 914 1.7 converted to a 2.7/901 side-shift?

In particular I'm need of the protective covers at the transmission and the linkage joint aft of the firewall. I have an assortment of bushings that I hope will fit what ever has been installed for linkage by the previous owner who performed the conversion.

ps - Yesterday, the car made it's maiden appearance on the track at Pacific Raceways in Seattle. We ran it for about 10 laps as a “test and tune” during a Proformance Racing lapping day. The oil temp leveled off at about 245. The 911SC brakes worked quite well with the stock proportioning valve.

We ran 27/28 psi for tire pressures on the 225/50/16 and 245/45/16 Yokohama A008R SII tires on 7 & 8 inch wheels. The handling seemed quite balanced, but we were only running at about 70%.

Thanks

Eddie

If you're going to get new parts, it's worth at least a phone call (especially if it's toll-free!) to your favorite mail-order retailer to see if they can get it--and what it will cost you from them. Chances are that your dealer doesn't have one in stock, which means it will take about the same amount of time to go mail-order as local.

And hey, if the dealer beats the mail-order place's price, you get it there!
