This reminds me- does anyone have a stock 67 shift lever with the "special"
washers they can spare? Stock knob would be nice too. The one on my car is
rather long, and has a bend in the middle. Is this correct? It just about
runs into the console when pulled back, and rotates in the shifter bushing.
Not something to inspire confidence.
I will of course be happy to pay a REASONABLE price and cover shipping.
While I'm wishing, I still need the rear bow trim and a set of the aluminum
door trims for a 67...
Thanks in advance!

I thought the same thing on my 240Z, so one day after a couple of soda pops
I broke out the hacksaw and cut it down without too much effort. Don't know
if it's the same on our Roadsters, but might be worth getting a good blade
on your saw and hacking away. Good luck.
