been doing so work on uprights, this shows std

this shows one that ive machined to take the a6 shafts that iam trying to use

cant get 5 stud hubs here some coverted a 4 to 5

[malncol]

fitting arms, hope the ball joint is on the correct side??

long wheel studs to allow for spacers later

dummy fit front , iam waiting for bearings

and the troublesome shift that iam working on at present, this is why i need ABY/DSY style linkages if anyone can help
thanks

Looking good, going to be a shame to get that lot dirty - at least it will be fun

The ball joints do go on the bottom

What linkage parts do you need?

[malncol]

not to worried about getting it dirty, just hoping i dont roll it into a ball. The balljoints slide into the end of those arms, its the sweep forward and back depending on which side you use them on that iam not sure of. As for the linkage i need the link/arm which comes of the box for what ever model that is below the selector shaft ,if that make sence.

time for a update
last time i was trying to get the gearshift to work and after working out i had the wrong one ,and i needed ABY shift rod, still would nt work because the sideways throw was to much for the hole in the tunnel
so

cut and removed more tunnel
which then meant i had to redo the shift tower

made some progress with the gearbox output shafts , covert B4 shaft to suit by removing the circlip and machining down the shank

before

[malncol]

had to drill hole through and machined to take normal bolt not tapered one

then made spacers to suit

rears were more of a challenge ,disregard the plus 45mm i wrote the wrong measurements on the wrong side, this being the short side was plus 5 mm

becasue of the lack of lenght i had to cut and swap the flanges, not ideal but

[malncol]

stuck it back together

then the long side,as ia had the room just made a adaptor

so this means i can now run the same A6 LHF shaft on all four corners, dont know if it will work but will give it a shot

[malncol]

got all the hubs put together

bit more done on the door trims, covered in black suede

[malncol]

another update got the door trims finished

more work on the gear shift cover with inspection cover for adjustment


my temperary fix for the reverse lock out, a washer and a modified inner valve spring seems to do the trick for now

[malncol]
