looking for details about Dave Shepard's GPR custom 914-6 to sideshift linkage rear rod

- iirc its was slightly curved & the end-or-ends cut-welded slightly re-oriented to line up the set-screws to correct position - don't recall if it was also shortened

anyone recall how it was done or have a comparative picture - or is it still available from someone else?

i had one in my car for 25 yrs - back-in-the day we did not routinely take pictures of every nut-bolt-rod we ever installed, especially in race cars headbang.gif (- didn't even have digital cameras)

TIA

The Patrick Motorsports kit is pretty hard to beat. It's what I used on my conversion.

Years ago I made some for Dave. I had made a jig and did a bunch, but others started making them, and other options got developed, and the demand was not much. I've only done a couple in the past 5 years

so Perry's got the answer -

no surprise on the demand issue

- and these days VALUE is mainly in museum resto 914-6's

so a sideshift is out of the question except for -4 conversions, daily drivers (if any still exist) & racers

iirc it was a mod a handy fella could do himself from an existing rod & knowing the details would be handy for the -4 conversion crowd

or maybe Iron Hill will still produce one - at what price?

yes and yes

remaining stash of mostly small or hi-value parts & 911 applicable items for sale https://tinyurl.com/911-914-Parts-List

- a pickup truck load of spares went away with car - too hard to ship &/or not hi demand

kept some 911 stuff cuz i might buy another one - but is not something i have storage for right now

- i need the MGB Vintage race car & parts stash to go away first

I don't have a six, but Tangerine Racing has a six option for their shift linkage kit.
