The bread trick made me chuckle, that is such a thinking Engineer's bodge, love it.

Looking very tidy!

TKX is the correct answer to T5 go cromch.. It was only a matter of time with that engine up front.

What was that shifter you had on the T5?

Cobra is beautiful btw, l love that it runs a 427 Ford!

It was a Burton Racing one.

Were you trying to use dry pitta?

I used a slice of white bread to remove the bearings on my AJP.

So close! I've got a TVR box which seems to have a weird shifter housing.. Can't seem to find a kit like that to work. Does the base plate unbolt on that one?

Ah! Coeliac bread probably wouldn't work, it'd likely just turn to powder

I thought the TVR boxes were all just WC spec T5's like the Sierra?

This shifter is for a Sierra.

What offset do you need for the shifter?

I don't see why not, although it would be dependant on everything lining up still!
