Good day all!

Well, I took out another 28.5mm from the gear selecting rod, but added a 12mm lock nut so it can be adjustable until I dial in the perfect measurement... Then I'll weld it and cut all future arms the perfect length and weld right away... no need to tap and insert a threaded section of a bolt... So, right now I can select any length between around 358mm up to 384mm... I highly doubt I'll need that much adjustment, but........

Unfortunately, I can't do this same adjustment stuff to the shifter arm... I need to find tune and get it perfect slowly without going excessively over... I may have found a way to pin it without welding... However, welding would be the best after the perfect length is achieved!

And I got word from Carolina Driveline... The drive shaft should be done Thursday or Friday... Fingers crossed... I absolutely can't wait for that to be done...

I'll try to get pictures tonight...

Cheers for now!
