Raising the shifter..., new (old) idea Options

[yeahmag]

I had an idea that I've found on at least on car before. I'd like to raise the shift knob to better clear my new Momo seat and be closer to the steering wheel. My idea is to combine and extended shift lever with a short shift kit. I'd expect I could work it so I have nearly the same resolution and shifting speed as to not wear out the brake bands.

Opinions?

This is the car I found that did it:

Here's one place.

And if you look at the GT-40 Forum site they almost always use cable shifters with G-50 and 930 transaxles. There's a lot of fabrication goin' on there.

Here's a fellow that made one from scratch. You can get some geometry from this, although it's for a tail-shifter.
