Oh right, can he get you the measurements?
Wont cost much to get a local machine shop to turn a few up for you, or even mk could do them if you ask nicely lol

Ya, that's what mike suggested but I thought if they were on a shelf it would be easier than removing coilover and bringing to eng shop to measure make

Its a std stick , I just bolted a 1" square to it so I could reach it , I had a T5 in my Race car for one meeting and the Getrag position was closer to the driver so I spaced the T5 stick back by a bit .
