No down sides what so ever.
To make your own just get a round bar around 4 inches long and 3/4 inch thick, cut a slot down it, place your standard rod into the slot and weld it up…..job done :wink:

There was a web page (USA I think?) that showed how to do it and from memory they used jubilee clips to attach it instead of welding it on??
Anyone know the link? :dontknow:

Just put one on my mk2 yesterday. Must be the quickest mod to do, litterally 1 minute job!
Although I must say that i didnt notice that much difference :dontknow: Felt a little easier to get 'in' gear but barely noticable. I'm gonna try on the mk1 once its running again.
Dont bother paying for one, i got 2 from the scrappies for peanuts. 8)

The MK2/3 ones are too short.

Ah! Good point, well made. Didnt think anything to do with a mk1 could be that easy!
TBH, just got back from a 'spirited' drive and it is a little more noticable then I may have stated before.
cheers
