Anyone doing the installation that has a Rennshifter ? If so, I'd like to get the pattern off the base after the slot is cut to accomodate the lever arm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Jim, You Don't really need any pattern. I just removed the base from the shifter, and the hand throttle lever from it's base. The lever base mounts underneath the shifter base. Mine is an original /6 lever, and so it has a locating hole that secures it with the front left base bolt, but it also has a dimple in it that keeps the lever from pivoting around the base bolt. Therefore I had to countersink a hole under the shifter base to lock in the dimple. Then with the position set I marked out the slot location for the lever with a Sharpie, and then just drilled a bunch of holes through the base. Lastly I used a Dremel to clean it all up, leaving a nice looking slot with the full travel of the lever available. You'll need to radius the top portion of the front of the slot for the travel because the base plate for the Rennshifter is about 3/8'' thick, compared to the original base made from stamped sheetmetal. I also has to use a washer for a shim on the forward right bolt hole under the base to keep it all square when I was done. I did the whole job in a couple of hours, start to finish.
