MRG MotorSports 818S Build

[RM1SepEx]

Bob, even with the stock rear shift location my new cables are 7 feet. I cut off the side to side stud and redrilled it for a 1/4 inch bolt. I used a 1/4 -28 threaded female rod end. I drilled the front to back hole 3/8 and inserted a 3/8 OD, 1/4 ID bronze bushing so that I could use a female rod end on that one too. My plate is on top of the tunnel so I need to shim up the clamps from McMaster for the cables. I'll have photos tomorrow, just started mounting it this afternoon. While I can easily heat the garage a bit to make it livable, my feet get cold and I have to come in to warm them!

I modified the rear brackets and added a bell crank for the twist motion. I mounted that cable to a piece of 2 x 2 aluminum and bolted it with the same holes as the chopped up stock bracket. Photos tomorrow on my thread... ???

Hey Dan,
Throw some cardboard on the floor. Keep those toes warm.
