Oki,
I found a chrome shift rod at the scrapyard. The scrapper had no idea what
VW it came off but we have stong suspicion over a type 3 Variant. I saw the
same shifter on thesamba a while back (missed the link) and it was also
advertised as coming from a doubtful source.
Its chromed and has a slight bend at one place. Size is about that of a post 68
lever.
Question is can it be a bolt on addition to my daily driver 68?? I can test
fit it and see. Any thing to look out for??
While on this subject.......the 59 rag project has a late 60s engine and
gear box. The tunnel rod is also a later unit as the coupling under the rear
seat is of the newer style. The shift rod has been swapped too to a post 68
type. I have sourced a pre 63 and a post 63 shift lever. The older one has a
bigger dia thread.
Question is...can I just swap the older levers onto the newer setup?? Or
quite simply can we just bolt on a different model shift lever to any bug??
TIA
Asad
