Anyone Make Veilside Short Throw Shifter Copies?

I assume that Veilside short throw shifters are no longer available new.

I have read that they are the best short shifter kit, so want to buy one.

Does anyone make/sell a copy of it?

That's a pity.

Will probably have to go with something else then.

I think that from what I read, some sort of Mazdaspeed short shifter copy seemed to be a good choice, can't remember which one it was at the moment.

No, not Mazdatrix.

From what I have read, it seems that the Pettit Racing/RX7-Store short throw shifter might be the next best choice after the Veilside. I think this might be a Mazdaspeed shifter copy.

Would prefer Veilside, but finding one does not seem very likely, so will probably buy one of the Pettit Racing shifters, which seem to be what rx7store.net sell as well.

If you like the notchy shifting but really short throws, B&M along with the ones similar will be the shifter for you

If you like the smooth but almost like stock throw RE Amemiya is the one for you.

If you like the slightly nothcy but short throw, C's or Mazadatrix is the one for you...this is what most people like.

I've had all of this short shifter, I ended up staying with the RE-Amemiya because of its ease of shifting.
