Don't bother IMO. You will be disappointed.

I could supply you with the B&M Short Shift and ship it to you in Poland if you wish?

I sell the B&M for Ł215GBP including UK delivery, so it would just be whatever the extra postage would be. Around Ł20 extra I would imagine.

Take a look at what people have to say about this kit, it is very good and replaces most of the OE parts with high-quality machined parts.

Are these easy to fit? Or is that a service you would offer at extra cost?

It's not that it's hard to do, although it is a little time-consuming. Of course we would do it if required.

What parts does it replace?

Go to your local Ford dealer and buy a Puma shifter.

If you want to make one you can do so,

Using a Puma linkage and also a std Escort linkage.

It will have a shorter throw and feel much better without the high costs or buying new items.

You could make this yourself without having to buy any parts from the UK.
