Well here's my next /6 conversion problem - my shift linkage hits the headers. After some research I can A) buy a new bar B) weld a new tube to mostly straighten it out and cut the bend off C) cut the ends off and rotate them so the bend faces the ground.
If I weld a new tube in (before cutting off the bend) - does it matter where I attach it to the existing tube? Will it rotate fine as long as the ends are not moved? Or should I just have one of the guys on the forum that convert these do it for me? A new bar is expensive and cutting the ends off makes me afraid if they are off just by a degree of ruining my shift rod. |

My shift rod had to be straightened to work with my six, I had Mark at Original Customs cut and reweld mine. Not sure if there is a write up somewhere with instructions on how to do it yourself. Seems length and orientation of the two set screw holes are the only factors.
