I am currently rebuilding a 914/6 conversion that I bought which had headers which are rotted out. The car uses a standard 72 914 shift rod. If I put original 6 heat exchangers back on the car will I have clearance problems with the shift rod? and if so what is the solution?

Is the 72 a straight rod?
I'm running a side shifter and I had to get the rod straightened so it wouldn't hit the heat exchangers.
Automobile Atlanta, Patrick motor sports, OTTOS and several other companies sell a straight rod.
I don't know if its exchanged or out right.
I also heard of people drilling out the rivet straightening the rod and cutting off an inch of the rod to make it fit.
I had a shop in San Jose, CA. do it back in 1986 but they went out of business a couple of years later.
