I'm in too, Lonny!! Sign me up for a kit.

 

[dastrups]

I'm assuming by the looks of it this new design doesn't put as much of a strain on the tunnel cap. Looks alot less flexible. That sound right? Smart words are not coming to me tonight lol.

I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't look like it's moving around when he punches it over to 5th gear.

For some time now we have been designing a shifter to replace the worn-out stock shifters and reverses and have now finalized a design.

It has changed a little from the image below. After testing we redesigned it to be closer to the passenger side of the Goblin.

We have the prototype installed in Adam,s Goblin.

We replaced the rubber dust covers with flexible socks to reduce the drag on the cables.

We will be testing it around here and if all is well we will have it in while at the meetup next week.

The production shifters are still several months out.
They will be anodized in various colors and clear.
The kit will include a replacement tunnel cap.

The complete shifter kit price will be?????
TBD at a later date.

Clear would be just like a bare aluminum look, right? I imagine the new tunnel cap will just be unpainted like in the kit?

I’m in for a kit too when they become available. It looks great in person, and I can’t wait to ditch the Cobalt’s plastic shifter base once this is in production.

 

[ATMironov]

Definitely in! Just waiting for them to pop up in the store.

If all goes smooth they should be ready to ship around mid-August.

Not to be that guy, but... has it all gone smoothly? I'm trying to refrain from hitting refresh on the store website!

Going smoothly is probably more related to sourcing materials, parts etc. I work in manufacturing and we still haven't caught up on back orders due to shortages from covid.

Same... we're ordering robots at the beginning of our manufacturing projects, risking them laying around and burning warranty but hoping to get them in time before we need them, whereas in the past we tried to wait on the order to prevent them from sitting around. There's something in there about that being a contributor to the underlying supply issues, but in the end I'm just an underling.

Any update on when these will be ready? I ship soon and would be perfect timing.
