As my car is an Impul 932s, I'm trying to get original impul parts to complete the 'set' if you like, and one of these was this gearstick as one of the options:
So there was my task.
So I took an aluminium rod and cut it to length
Then did a big chamfer, drill a large and small hole in the end and tapped a thread into it.
Then used a piece of stainless steel, thinned it down to the right size and put a thread in that.
Then I briefly did the top by chamfering it but its rushed and will need redoing.
Here's what it looks like:
So body nearly done.
I moved onto the brass bushings because it's not worth buying them
Drill hole in the centre
Thin down to minutely the diameter for a snug fit. (Admittedly I overshot twice)
And hit it really hard with a hammer.
And the smart ones of you will notice the previous owners budget attempt at a short shifter, but welding a bit on to make it longer [emoji38]
Not to everyones taste but I want to make my car as the original from IMPUL with all options checked.
