Kendal, Hows that side shift linkage working out for you. Im in the process of putting a 1984 side shift in my new buggy using that linkage.

I am also doing swing to irs conversion and cage mods It has been crazy bout like initial build

Looking really good. For some reason I thought you were using the Davis Racing Linkage like I am. What did you use for the pivot point on the shift rod.

At the shiftbox i cut a block out of aluminum an put a 3/4 bushing from my local farm an home store bolted it to the inside of th e shift box in place of the nylon bushing for the stock shift rod the heims are .757 dia steering heims from speedway and slide nicely over the tube {3/4 stearing shaftfrom speedway}.I thought about it and think my design shows promise ie stock shifter location ease of heim install plus I have acces to machine tools!

I am sorry I didnt intend on hijacking this thread forgive me

Kendel now we know what kinda guy you are. Your a thread thieft!

Did that front mount come with shift linkage??

Nice car, Is that an explorer?

shift linkage came from my mind with inspiration found on this site i decided to do a 1 piece thing because it was easy an my trans is bushing mounted so my shifter stays with the trans. All the best stuff you have to build yourself!

Very nice work! Do you mind if I use your design??

I used a piece of chain welded to a bolt on each end. This way the arm can "arc" as it moves and will not bind. Simple and effective.

the frame is a cobra98 beeline



Before
During
After

Fooled me! I thought it was an exploerer. I like the change, I almost did the same type of mods to a berrien.

ok you can drill large ball bearing with carbide in the lathe then use pipe to fit close. just stick bolt in hole and weld. Or you can form ball on piece of round stock in lathe an bore a socket out to fit my retainer bolts catch the rod a bout 1/2 so they cant roll or slide. study the pics If a lathe an mill are cheating I am a cheater

I just figured out that this set up will "flip" your shift patern side to side that might be ok ,that might not, could be a theft deterant to go along with your removable stearing wheel and batery disconect

i like the x brace the way you bent two pieces looks better than just the x
