    Either you get an adapter plate setup and use the forward most position 17 7/8" (ma61/ra65/etc) like I did/made. Or find the much more rare 19" mid-back which I think may have came out of the sa63. But not 100% sure since we never got it over here in the states.

    just fitted my 58, with the most rearward w series shifter position and a niteparts bellhousing, you will have to cut about 20mm out to fit the shifter, which actually i reallly like where it puts the shifter! pics soon.....

    I recently bought a rt142 w55 box I think it's the furthest position forward. What is the t50 shifter position in mm? So I can see how far back it is compared. Will take some pics. Also has anyone checked the gears on the w5x box?

    Has anyone got some tips on how to line up where to drill the holes in a custom gear box cross member? I have some steel in the right place but working out where to exactly drill the holes is doing my head in.
