Yep it will fit r28 and yep will fit tunnel. Need to get back to you on price as I need to get a batch made ( only made a few and they have gone)

Will let you know asap

Ps I assume you still have the block which fits on the selector shaft stub on the back of the box, with the two pins or bolts through it? You will need that

I'd also like one of those quick shift plates my only problem is the gearstick shaft thing snapped off mine by th pins will this replace it its not ike a shaft more of a flat metal thing?

You're ok as long as you have the "stub" that sticks out of the back of the omega box. If you unbolt the big flappy plate thing that holds the stick, you'll see where the shifter goes into the back of the omega box. Just behind where it enters the box casing there is a metal block with two pins through it. I need up to and including that block, but nothing behind it. The clevis on my shifter fits onto the rear pin on that block.

PS just read the full thread. Re. Ford type 9 boxes, a standard type 9 box is no stronger than a manta 1800 one, in fact probably weaker. I have broken an equal number of both I would guess! The benefit of the type 9 is that you can get lots of aftermarket gearkits for them, rated up to 275hp, at which point the casing is at its limit. (even reinforced ones)

PS will get onto sorting a batch of these shifters this weekend.....not enough hours in the day! Will get the bearings and clevises ordered!

Right have looked into it all and it will be about 3 weeks to get some shifters sorted, hope that's ok!?

You know what Nat, that was always my impression, but never actually having had experience of them I could never really comment.

Also sounds like you may be getting busy on the fabrication front, if I wasn't so tied up at weekends I'd pop over and cobble those up for you mate.
