Can anyone help me identify the short shifter that was installed in my '73 by a PO? I am in search of a new stick and the rennshift ones clearly won't work. I couldn't see any manufacturing marks (maybe if I take it apart?)...Thanks!

Sorry, can help identify who made the shifter, but you can get nice new seat adjuster handles from 914rubber.com (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

It's an early rennshift. What's the rest of the car look like?

Anyone know if sticks/handles are still made for the early rennshift, or possible where to buy an alternative aftermarket that'll fit the bolt pattern and have an angle back??
RobW, I hope this car looks familiar to you???

I'm sure i'll have a few more orders from him for this car in the future, haha |

The shifter is an early early Rennshift.
