Except it works as the factory shifter does in 5th or R.




Yes, but only if the body flex exceeds the shift linkage play.

Two 42mm pistons have almost the same area as four 30mm pistons so there might not be such a big difference in brake balance.

But the calipers are bigger and should handle more heat. Plus they...

It's not that complicated.

That won't work I'm afraid. The springs pulls the shifter towards neutral so bigger gate openings just means the shifter would rest closer to neutral (in 1, 2, 5, R). And possibly in a position where...

Yet another 915 gated shifter design.

So I drive a 1973 911e with the infamous 915 transmission. I love the car but the feel of the stock shifter ruined some of the fun for me. Most of the time I had to look at the shifter to make sure I...

We use a see-snake at work and it's OK.

Depends on what you are going to use it for. Perhaps a $30 miniature camera from ebay and a stick will work?

Why are there no resonably priced aero style mirror copies

Is it only me or is >$300 for a pair of used mirrors insane?

I would bet some China factory could replicate them for less than $100, covered in real carbon for $150.

So why cant I find any?
