Subject:      Making a Vanagon Short Shift Adapter
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi All,


I'm not sure if this has been tried before. I've been looking at the short shift kit advertised on the Volkscafe home page.http://volkscafe.com/images/1030702019.jpg has an enlargement. I'm thinking of making a shim piece using the same technique that the chap here used to fix a saggy butt, http://www.knology.net/~vw/vanagon/sag/. With a a polyethylene chopping board in theory I could make something fairly tall so that it would be possible to have a longer gear stick and a shorter shift. I hope to give it a try in a couple of weeks for the sake of the experiment if nothing else. If anyone else has tried something similar I'd value hearing about their experience.


Cheers,


Steve
