Leven stalks for the S..!
Discussion
twsp said: Like to be added onto the list. 91 S3 same set up.
Don't know if this is a standard bit of ford across the board but:
- while you're speaking to Levern how about a nice replacement for the very nasty ford escort heating controls that sit slap bang in the middle of the dash?
absolutely it is pants
Hi Guys
Just got off the phone with Leven on this subject. The project has died off due lack of interest!!!They are still considering making these stalks and have nearly got enough info on which vehicle(s) the stalks came off in the first place/how they work. As you would imagine the stalk-end switches are the sticking point and may require some switch-gear modification.They are also not convinced that people would really buy them if they were produced. The stalks shouldn't cost substantialy more than the Griff/Chimp ones. Leven don't want to get lumbered with 25 unsold stalk sets. Incidently these are the numbers required to make the project viable.25 firm orders...good, 50 firm orders...better.
We discussed a solution to both problems. If you are taking your S to mania and are interested in doing this mod, go and talk to Leven on the TMS stand (apparently they will have an in-yer-face red awning...almost impossible to miss). The more interest shown the better the chance of the project getting off the ground.

P.S. Simon at Leven said that he would not really want to take money, even a deposit, from anyone prior to production/delivery. I still think that if you are really interested, walking up to him, waving your chequebook at him, will probably lend credance to your "interest"!
