Nice, they look like they are angled towards the driver, or is that just me?

Sorry about the poor quality photo but I had to make the file smaller for the post.

It's not a short throw but I did cut some of it off. I cannot remember the brand of the shifter ****, nothing special just one i found in a parts store somewhere.

I have been looking for genuine short throw shifter for an SA for years.

Cool

Yea I moved the heater A/C controls from the top to make room for the gauges.

Took a little work but I am happy with the results, I just always thought that there should have been gauges there under the little "hood" on the dash. I had to pirate some of the parts from my parts car to relocate the controls and it was difficult measuring to determine where on the panel to locate everything when I put it back together but I got it pretty close.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to notice that the controls had been relocated.
