what kind of metric tap & die set are you going to use??
I had this thought last night. since the problem is where the numbers wind up what if onthe **** or maybe even on the shifter you grind down the thread about a quarter so the starting point is moved wouldnt the ending point be moved also?

hafta grind down another full rotation!Plus you'll get all those little metal bits everwhere and... eventually the bottom of the **** will "bottom out" to a point where there is no more thread and it stops turning for that reason.

alex, you need my struts still? I was hoping the shop could put my shyt on today, but they said wait til monday so there's more time for me to get an alignment. I think they were going home early today. But let me know, so I dont pick them up for nothin. Just need a yes, and what do you need, 2 front shocks only, or do you want all 4, or all 4 plus springs? Hit me up on PM or respond to this thread

I think you got confused. I'm cutting it about an 1" 1/2 and then re welding it, so no tap or die set needed. I don't think it will break off either if I weld it back on, not like I'm trying to break my wrist and slam gears.

its cool, I thought you were talking about cutting the shifter to make it lower like I was talking about, lol.
I'm trying to make it a little lower into the boot, rather than "up to my shoulders" as Joey put it.
Tommy Tran: I'll give it a lil angle for the ladies!

Id help, but never done it and wouldnt want to. I'd throw down on beer, to come and help out, so I can learn. I need to get out of this damned house as much as possible anyways. Keep fighting with my biyatch.

My car is in the shop right now. I HOPE they are done today. They said they would try their damndest to get it done today. I dont want to leave my car overnight (especially 15 miles away). How many miles would I be able to drive w/o an alignment. If I get my car back late, and discount tire is closed, would I be able to make it 15 miles, or is that a big hell no? Id rather my car sit, than me mess it up.
