Thanks peoples

Now, the latest project....

Take apart a 4 speed rhd shifter and cut the mounting base off


Drill a new hole in the pivot pin for the handle and flip the pin so the new hole lines up



Mount the base from your 5 speed lhd shifter to the 4 speed rhd housing


And you can mount a 4 speed rhd Aristo shifter in your GS


There was a little extra trimming to get it to fit with the cup holder still functioning, but that's the basic idea.

Its a D-tec badge. I was going to pull it off but thought it made it a little more rare. I think the # on it is 007 too.
