Love it. Are you going to stick with the massive teflon block? I definitely think cable shifting is the way to go. I wanna see this thing in action!

Love it. Are you going to stick with the massive teflon block? I definitely think cable shifting is the way to go. I wanna see this thing in action! The Teflon block Is most likely permanent. However, the ear that transfers side to side to forward to back motion may change to aluminum with a teflon/delrin bushing. The Teflon is actually very tough and has no wear characteristics like aluminum. In the end the Teflon won't be visible anyway because I plan to build a cover for the entire shifter that makes it more astetically pleasing. |

I love your project. Wish I could weld and work metal like you can. That is fantastic! I am in the process of installing my MS setup. You may want to look at it. Also, I have been working on my 914 for more than 10 years if that makes you feel any better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It has been a lot of fun for me also.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRGcx7MlsM8...be_gdata_player So my A.D.D. Has officially taken over. I have been jumping all over the place with this project. Any who this is the video of the shifter tower that I've made. I figured since I'm not going to put the tunnel back in, I could make the cable shifter now. I have to order the cables now, so itll be a few weeks before I get back to this portion of the build. Anyone know a good source for push pull cables or is Mcmaster Carr my only choice? Cable shifter is definitely the way to go. I did it to my tail shifter and It totally changed the way the car drives. Mcmaster is a good place, but any marine supply store should have good teleflex corrosion resistant ones on hand. Another good place to get them is Here http://www.appliedracing.com/morse-cables-and-accessories/ Let me know if there is anything more you need. The cable shifter was the most fun project my dad and I ever tried. Kev |

Thanks guys! Glad to know you are enjoying the build.
This is actually one of the more fun pieces I have built yet. Kevin, thanks for the insight on the morse cables. It helped me find the ones I am going with now. As far as the MS... Im still weighing the options at ts point. I have a few more systems I am thinking about. Not to say that MS is not a good system, because it is great! It just may not be the system for this application. If my MS3 doesn't sell I may likely run it because I have it. Most of my components that I've either made or have bought will work in almost any application, but I am trying to get to a MAF opposed to a MAP due to the engine overlap and such... |

You know that you are going to have to come clean sooner or later. |

Great work. I know your not far from me, does the snow and cold slow down the progress, or do you have a heated space?

Great work. I know your not far from me, does the snow and cold slow down the progress, or do you have a heated space? To be honest I think it helps me out. I have a wood burning stove and a propane forced air heater. But I run both lightly. I hate working in the summer because it is so humid and hot. neither conditions promote work with grinding, welding and so on. i throw on a couple layers of clothing and the work makes my heat... |

Whoo! Big progress! Yeah... I cant tell if this is in sarcasm or not... but ... I kinda feel bad since i told you that i would be posting more regularly.... to be honest i didnt foresee the amount of travel that i would be doing for work... i dont have anymore travel untill mid january so im pretty excited about that. Had a month off from it. and i have been off work since last friday. How are things though? Maybe i can make a trip up to ol purdue and stop in for a meal and drinks.

Not sarcastic at all! I have been busy too, but I was thinking we should do something. I have a feeling Cincy is a lot more fun than Lafayette. Maybe a 914 get together in Feb?

Ross, gathering sounds great!

A friend and I have completed a working prototype! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbnihF5J1c0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5tDvTsHgS0 I am still working out the reveserse lockout mechanism which i believe that I figured out today. Happy new year all! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Cheers Thomas |

I keep the 914 shifter in my car and came up with this linkage arrangement.
I did not have enought room to install cables between the back wall and the front of the engine so I went around the engine. ![]() |
