so, I finally got around to finishing my short shifter setup. I have had the neuspeed adapter for a few months now, I cut my shifter down to right above the bend, and welded my old threaded piece back on. Just ordered the part # 08999-BAK-100 so I can match the boot up to my new Skunk 2 weighted **** that I ordered. Will post pics shortly!

I would never trust a shifter that's been cut and welded. I've seen too many snap off in not so safe circumstances.

If it was welded with the right heat range than the weld is stronger than the metal around it. If it is a bad weld then I would see a safety issue, but his weld looks good

A revo or OBX would have sufficed.

why not cut and re die the thread

Whatever, its cheap and is doing the trick. Props on trying something different.

wow...im speechless.. this is as ghetto as it comes, shirt shifters arent too expensive dude you should have just bought 1. And i would agree with 02BLKCIVIC you should have just cut it and rethread it

I just wanted to try something different guys, I already had the neupseed adapter so I figured I would just cut the lever....it won't break, I welded the crap out of this thing, worked hard so it would be right.....it will be just fine. Will post pics when I get the adpater and the skunk2 ****! If it does in fact break, I can always get the revo....this will suffice and will work!

What is so custom about this?

 
Rep Power: 313

well if **** breaks on you,

I have a stock shifter for sale.

 
Rep Power: 263

^ lol that thing won't break, he welded it pretty good

 
Rep Power: 247

Can you actually weld, Dex?

 
Rep Power: 229

woo hoo. I love welding lol. I'm kinda alright at it... Its fun haha.


And btw unevolved..that was your 1000th post lol.

 
Rep Power: 276

No but I wish I could. I understand about the weld being stronger than the original metal if it's done right but in order for him to be right it has to work 100% of the time. In order for him to be wrong, it only has to fail once. I hope it works out and he did what we're afraid to do (I've personally seen this done many times as well as people cutting springs) but I'd still be afraid to drive it. Especially since I know nothing about welding and can't tell by looking at it how good it is.

 
Rep Power: 247

Oh rock on. Hahaha what a milestone.

 
Rep Power: 229

Lol I know right? Geeeeze where is this guy at? I wanna know how it shifts lol.

 
Rep Power: 295

Rep Power: 263

Rep Power: 229

Rep Power: 295

Rep Power: 229

Rep Power: 295

well end of day Friday, the shift **** did not arrive today....so I am expecting it Monday morning. Will post pictures on Monday when everything is in. So far it looks and feels great. The shfot boot adapter looks like it will be perfect this ****. It works perfect with my existing ****.... SWEET! Very anxious for my SKUNK2 400 gram ****!

 
Rep Power: 229

Rep Power: 237

i like the idea, its creative for sure ,so props there! however, i would have just spent the 150.00 on a SS kit myself?

good work though!

 
Rep Power: 295

there was no need to spend that kind of money, I already have the neuspeed adapter which does the same thing...
