MerlinGTI 3 Posted April 3, 2008 Just wondering for those of you that have fitted one of those quick shift 'L' shaped brackets on your 205's, what you thought? Would you reccommend? I think the throw is quite short as standard and wondered if was a nice tweak or ruined the change. I only ask as ive bought a set of uprated link rods because the standard ones were knackered, and while im at it..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted April 3, 2008 It's cheaper to reduce the length of the 'L' and has a better effect than making it longer, Have a search as it's been covered loads of times, If you'd bought some of my Rod's I could have thrown in a ball to do this for nothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) Much better imo, i've used a fair few, lengthened and shortened std ones, proper lengthened ones, and one of my cars has some added-on lengthening item atm and it seems fine. Edited April 3, 2008 by Baz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted April 3, 2008 just grind the back of the ball off, drill a 6mm hole about 20mm further up, and weld in the ball there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MerlinGTI 3 Posted April 3, 2008 one of my cars has some added-on lengthening item atm and it seems fine. That the constella add on thing? The design scared me off, looked a bit prone to moving. Glad to hear its ok tho. Think I'll try an ebay lengthened one at a later date. Miles didnt know you had a shop. Added to bookmarks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted April 3, 2008 Yes probably, rings a bell, it seems fine but i'm taking it off and putting the car back to std anyway. PM me if you're interested in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pike_1.9cti 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Miles, had one of your ball and nut solution, only just fitted it the other day, went for 17mm, so much more positive along with putting in the new nylon bushes. Cheap and very effective! Good for road car! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
