Hi Stewart,
Hope you're well. I wondered if there would be any possibility of an angled gear lever to bring it a little closer to the steering wheel and driver. As a lanky git my seat is hard up against the back of the cabin, and it's a bit of a stretch! I was considering buying an angled extension and combining it with an eBay short shift kit, but a single piece kit would be much nicer. Is this something your friendly engineer could look at? It might not be viable cost wise, in which case the angled extension would be just the ticket.
Thanks in advance,
John

To make an angled stick, it would need a jig making to bend the bar. This gets expensive when we're talking 1 offs. Have you got any examples?

Been tempted for a while, but a little dubious of it!
