Hi Guys

My gear selector is touching the subframe. Does anyone have pics of how to modify the selector to clear the rear frame. I have seen sumwhere that it can be bent upwards. Has anyone done this?

Thanks

Whilst Ben's looks awesome, its worth noting that more often than not people have just put a pocket in the subframe and not modified that part odf the selector.

This is what Ben made for me. The suspension tower has been modified for it to fit. Although it looks difficult the rubber cone still fits rather easily.

I don't have any pictures of the cables attached, but last time the engine was in I tested the selector out and it all works.

And Ben, I put the handbrake lever in and it clears the gearshift, it's close but clears, hopefully it'll all be good, otherwise I'll move it all forward later.
