I know, I shouldn't have brought up the joke (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I'd LOVE to have one on my 356...it's rather finicky until it warms up.

I'm excited to buy one for my 914 when they are ready.

Yes we are there.
I have a group of 30 coming out and another 40 underway. I just have not had enough time with changes at the day job. I will however be making a big announcement in the next 3-4 weeks.

No it's a throttle control for warming the carbs up at startup. Connects to the accelerator linkage and by pulling the black handle just sets a tiny bit of throttle to raise RPMs during warm up.

I would definitely NOT use this during driving. Very unsafe.

It's as safe as you want to make it. Using it as cruise control on a high speed crowded freeway? Unsafe. Using it as cruise control in the middle of the desert on interstate 40? No problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Just thinking Perhaps this should be sold with a disclaimer. Not intended for automotive use. It's a replica of an old part for ornamental purposes only. DO NOT INSTALL ON YOUR CAR as we will not be liable for your misuse of our product.

In this day with those type of questions being asked. It's best to state it's not intended for installation on your vehicle.

If you do so we will not be liable for your intentional misuse of our product.

Mark,

Add me for 1. Looks like an interesting project. Will my Rennshift require modification to make the correct fit ?

I wonder how this will install with a center console...


The lever fits in the slot in the front part of the shifter housing. Should not be a problem with a center console.
Bruce


Would that mean a Rennshifter would have to be modified to accomodate the lever ?

I believe so. There was some input on the last GB thread for the ones that came from Germany.

We will be PMing everyone this next week as these are being assembled now. Should be Wednesday as I'm on the road til Tue afternoon.
Thx

Of course these took longer that I'd like them to, but we are finally assembling these and will be ready to ship this next week.
Here's what I did today.

We actually had the levers chrome plated, so they will hold up nicely.

The rod, hanger, and joint would be the same. The base that holds the armature may need some modification. I could probably make one custom as I made the bases. You need a right?
