Good day all!!
Well, here is the modification I did to the shifter selection rod... I am still working on the shifter arm... I took out only 60mm from each... I can always take away until I get the correct length... It is a little bit harder to put back if I cut it too short...
Here I am already done with the cut... The section that has the sticker is 58.92mm long... So, just over 60mm came out of the center... These are M16-2.0 bolts... They are the same length... It was surprisingly easy to tap the treads on the inside...
This does say M16X2 D7 HSS!! (I don’t like my camera with poor lighting!!!!)
The black mark is center... This was a hex head bolt...
And I actually did get this to turn one more revolution to nearly close up tight and still be aligned... Once I get it the correct length, all I have to do is tack it to keep it from spinning!!!
I’m still working on the arm... It is aluminium... and it’s square casting... This adds a whole additional degree of difficulty!! But, this is fun stuff!!
Cheers for now!!!
