Barry,
I did find a GT6 OD gear shift lever recently and purchased it. But I don't=
know if it's original GT6 or Spitfire or ????. I can't take the measuremen=
t you are asking for as my gearbox is apart being rebuilt, but I can take v=
arious measurements of the lever on the bench if you'd like.
Joel...

Subject: [TR] Triumph GT6 overdrive shift lever (155301)
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=92t have a G=
T6 lever only a Spitfire Non OD lever, and I patterned it after that. Howe=
ver they are a bit longer than the GT6 overdrive ones and I haven=92t been =
able to find a correct lever or even one in a car to measure it. So if any=
one has a GT6 with overdrive, and could give me a measurement I can extrapo=
late the rest. The current OD lever I made, when shifted into first gear m=
easures 10 inches from the top rear of the tunnel to the highest part of th=
e 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 can guesstimate=
the rest. I don't want the column mounted switch, I LIKE the lever mounte=
d one, but I would like it to be the correct length.
Of course, I would prefer to just purchase one if reasonable...
