Going to instal a new hurst shifter in the R2 lark tomorrow any pointers?

Make sure that those aftermarket bars hit the spring at the front eye in line with the bolt. If shorter they will put a bend in the spring.

I'm sure quit a few of you have done this and it seams realativey easy. But is there anything I should know before I start in?

I can't wait to get it put in. That little car is FLAT out fun to drive but the shifter is crap. The new hurst will make it much better.

Then I need to put new springs all the way around. And a set of traction bars for the rear axle. I have a set that Dan built or a set of the big aftermarket square tube chrome bars that came on another car. Not sure which will i will use yet but I'm thinking i like the look of the aftermarket bars.
