Going to keep the two cables above the shifter mount like the original MR2? Very interested, however it looks even shorter than the original MR2 unit

The 2 shifters in the post above are the same length. MR2 shifter come in multiple lengths. The one you have is longer.
I'm looking at moving my cables into the tunnel. not as simple as I hoped.

Bob, what issue did you run into? I also bought an MR2 shifter and was planning on installing it inside the tunnel where the base plate would be under the top tubes.

Hi StiWRD,
My goal is to get the cables down in the tunnel.
I was looking at mounting a base plate on top the tunnel, then flip the bell crank so it points down.
Then extend the shift arm down and connect cable outer jacket.
In theory all would work, to implement it would be hooky.

I think you and I are going to end up with the same thing. Last night I decided it wound be much simpler to just drop the shifter 2" into the tunnel to the tunnel, which would hide the cable and be pretty simple to implement.
I should have this done by Wednesday, I will post pictures.

Awesome, I'll stay tuned. The handle you bought looks pretty nice (I assume you plan to leave that visible?). I was just going to use a boot so things don't have to be pretty underneath.

That handle is to short and will be hidden if I drop the shifter into the tunnel.
