Short Shifter Group Buy Update

Well guys, after much procrastination, and a lot of saving, I've finally ordered the spacers to be cnc'd.
It's going to be about a month. I had hoped to order more than 20 spacers but I simply can't afford it right now. I'll get another buy going shortly after this one if cores are available.
About 5 of the 20 shifters are accounted for, some of you that have helped me collect cores will recieve pm's before the rest are offered.
Thanks for all the help and the interest in this project.

Joe

I dunno if that's a cable actuated tranny, but some older Hondas are, and they are long throw as well.

[QUOTE]

I'll refrain. I don't think a comment is even necessary.

The shifters are $75.00 each shipped on this batch, If I can continue to get cores I'll probably do another 20 for the same price. They will be ready in about a month, I will post pics when they are ready. *I'm not taking deposits or reservations, after the few that have been promised (you know who you are) it's first pay, first ship.
Thanks
Joe

I made an offer, you said "no thanks". Then I said "Tell me how much" and your reply was you "already sold".
If you want to sell them e-mail me and we can figure it out like I already tried to do, if not...whatever.

I would guess about 40%\

You get the spacer, the shifter, and longer bolts for the spacer.
