VW Golf mark 2, 5 speed,mount it inside in the car,small hole through bulkhead and a little bit of modifing and it will conect onto standard nova gearbox linkage.I have it in my own and know a few lads with it.Works a treat for small money.

i would'nt waste the postage on that ross it looks like a piece ot shite just use the standard lever and either change the linkage on the box of run it straight to the turret on the box its not that hard to do on my nova i have the corsa lever and just changed the stuff on the box to the stronger metal type.

dont let fat boy put you of ross ,as he probably wants it for one of his own yokes
ross i got a linkage from griffiths engineering in wales for my grp n Astra a couple of years back ;) it shortened the throw and done away with all the wee white buckets on the linkage with rose joints. think it cost £65 - £85 and its still on the go:laugh:
