Since the GT6 overdrive gear shift lever for the knob mounted switch (part =
number 155301) is made of unobtiainum and finding hens teeth is easier than=
 locating a used one, I would like to machine another, correct one for my G=
T6.  Originally when I machined the one  in my car now, I didn=E2=80=99t ha=
ve a GT6 lever only a Spitfire Non OD lever, and I patterned it after that.=
  However they are a bit longer than the GT6 overdrive ones and I haven=E2=
=80=99t been able to find a correct lever or even one in a car to measure i=
t.  So if anyone has a GT6 with overdrive, and could give me a measurement =
I can extrapolate the rest.  The current OD lever I made, when shifted into=
 first gear measures 10 inches from the top rear of the tunnel to the highe=
st part of the shift knob cap (the one with the switch in it).  If I could =
get a similar measurement from a GT6 with the original OD lever in it, I ca=
n guesstimate the rest.  I don't want the column mounted switch, I LIKE the=
 lever mounted one, but I would like it to be the correct length.

Of course, I would prefer to just purchase one if reasonable...
