Re: Cheap Weighted Billet

I installed a short shifter @ 33%. It works great, what a difference it makes. The weighted throw works awesome, thanks Briano. You are correct about the MG mine also shifts pretty tight. I don't know, if you noticed mine parked next to the cabby? It's a 1980 MGB

Re: Cheap Weighted Billet

I'm going to try the shrink wrap technique that gull suggested. I'll post more pics when done. Great idea Briano! Thanks!

Re: Hello from Florida, Yes I am a newbie!

Thank you for the warm welcome. I will try to post some pics latter today. Also let me thank you for the fix up advise. My first plan of action will be the brake leak.
