[Roadsters] 5-Speed

[MH]

To install the 5-speed with my R16 (subsequently stroked), I drilled the
upper holes 5/8" further back on the top, dropped the 4-speed trans mount
down to the lower bolt holes, and used the 90 degree adapter that was
originally used for the 4-speed, by pounding the tunnel outward in the area
directly across from the afdapter about 1/2" or so to provide adequate
clearance.
It all works very well.

All the 5-speeds I have seen have the cable routed directly into the side of

the trans -- no adapter.  I tried to put an adapter on a friend's '67 1600 
with a U20/5-speed conversion, but there was no clearance for the adapter 
between the tunnel and the side of the trans.  He does not have the standard

5-speed cross-member trans mount, but rather uses the existing 1600 mount, 
which places the trans higher in the tunnel.  I have been told that the rear

trans mount should be dropped to the lower bolt holes only, to get more 
clearance, but we have not tried it.  His cable runs under the carpet and 
through a hole drilled in the tunnel just opposite the cable entry point 
into the trans.  I opened up the hole a bit, and we were able to get a new 
cable in.

Anyone else?
