Those Fancy Colin Satchell Gear Sticks

[sam jfm 0]

Does he do one for tu engined 205's?

[welshpug 1,661]

I believe he has done, he's just sorted them for the TU-MA 106 and is in the process of doing the TU-BE 106 setup.

 

best to just PM him though, "eeyore" is his username

[Batfink 201]

I was chatting to him on friday and he is looking at redesigning the 205 one

[McDude 33]

I've seen a 306 one, anyone got any pics of a 205 one?

 

Looks proper touring car lovely!

[welshpug 1,661]

Its pretty much the same

[tri_longer 25]

OMG just seen one of his 306 ones in this build thread

If he really is doing one like this for the 205 I definitely need one in my car.

Colin certainly has done a 205 tu setup, but the car I am thinking of has a BE box. You only need ask, I know that he has been able to work something what ever the combination in a 205 in the past.

Here is the one he has made for my 405, which will now be hooked up to an Evo IV gearbox

 

I know Colin wanted to simplify the whole kit last time I spoke to him, making it a lot easier to fit (to whichever car is in question).

Is the distance between gears increased with that long stick, or has the pivot been changed to compensate?

[welshpug 1,661]

Its a total setup/kit, can be adjusted to suit too.

[tri_longer 25]

The regs I am running to don't allow for daylight in the bulkhead, any ideas how you would be able to seal around the rods?

[Tom Fenton 1,542]

Something like a gear gaiter off a Mini would do the trick.

[JeffR 51]

Thanks Welshpug. Are these rose jointed? Would anyone a pic of the set-up as it might be what I need for the 405 track car.

[welshpug 1,661]

yes they are, see AlexN's post earlier.

[Sandy 191]

Not sure what pics you've looked at, but the finished item has gaitors on the rods/bulkhead to satisfy MSA regs. You can see pics of the latest kit (during testing) here: http://www.106rallyeforum.com/forum2008/sh...ead.php?t=77112

It's intended now to be more DIY fitting orientated.

I have a much better idea now thanks for that link Sandy. I think the previous pictures was only partly installed so had no rubber gaiter fitted. They look great and having that extra height on the lever for less hand movement in gear changes is great. I shall be pm'ing him imminently.

[McDude 33]

Makes me wish my 205 wasn't so nice on the inside, so I could strip it and install one of these - very cool.

Well this has to go down as my most popular topic ever!

[Baz 421]

Anyone know a rough guide price for this?

[sam jfm 0]

I have pm'ed him, i think the 106 one is over £200 - £250

[SurGie 54]

I read it was £280 on the 106 forum thread.

[tri_longer 25]

I'm guessing his inbox will be overflowing before long.

[Batfink 201]

He has a few car projects to finish off before he can look at redesigning the 205 gearlever so it will certainly be next year before he can start work on it so I would not bombard him too much

Interesting. After looking at the photos on the 106 forums, I wonder if this setup will fit if you are using a CAT ? There don't seem to be much space in those 106 Exhaust Tunnels - and the pictures didn't contain a CAT.

Isn't the 106 cat in the downpipe like saxos?

 

EDIT - Scratch that, its only 1.4 and 1.1 106's that have the cat in the downpipe.
