Need help with Vellios 916 shifter parts Options

[Marv's3.6six]

Hey all I need help with Vellios shifter.

I am looking for a drawing of the shift fingers. I need to replicate or repair mine. Does anyone have a drawing of this part? (I am speaking of the shifting levers or fingers, not the cast aluminum part)

Thanks

Marv

One thing I don't like about the old VELLIOS kits were that the tail cone (nosecone) ears were off and the transmission sits in the car crooked (about 1/2" from one side to the other).

Another thing I never liked about it was the lack of a reverse switch. The shift rod provided is far too short to extend back and actuate a switch, but it would probably interfere with the exhaust anyway.

The other thing I never liked about the VELLIOS kit was the lack of speedometer, but I know of a way to adapt to an electronic speedometer through either the sensor ring and machining a pocket in the side cover or by adding a sensor ring to the CV joint flange.

I do wish I had one of these kits for a 930 transmission......




If I were just a little older (or had money back when you could buy these things). What ever happened to Beach Boys Racing???? (I remember they had some unique offerings back in the day.)

John,
Wevo makes a billet side plate with the pocket for the speed sensor. That's what I used on my 915 gear box. Beach boys racing is still around (aka venice beach auto body). They still do GT flairs, SC flairs and far as I know the Monterrey kit.

Didn't BBR once upon a time make castings that allowed 911 rear wheel bearings & hubs and the proper mounting of 911 E-Brakes onto 914 trailing arms?


OOPS! my bad, I guess that was another George Vellios deal.
