Template Remote gear lever hole

[billycooper]

Finally made a decision and got a SC / CR Remote box for my 1960 Hillclimb Track Car, Has anyone got a template for cutting the hole for a remote on a 1960 shell ?

[Richspec]

Rich at Minispares had one, I'm sure I remember seeing in a post ages ago.

Could you not assemble the extension it without the lever and mark
the centre of where the hole needs to be from under the car.

Still from under the car, drill this through, say 1/8".

Now, from inside the car, use the gaiter retaining piece as a
template, centralise this round the drilled hole, then just scribe
around the inside?

Your welcome to pop round to our place (Cartmel way) and make a template if you like?

I could also do with a copy, as I misplaced mine

I could do with one also. Modifying a 1963 to take a remote. I hate 'magic wands'.

They might be called 'direct shifters' but in my experience they are nearly as crap to use as the push pull shifter of Citroens and Renaults...

Would anybody be able to help me with a template, as for the love of everything sacred, I still can't find mine!

I will dig it out later but I've got a drawing of my car with measurements taken from steering rack bolts when a mate of mine needed to do the same .
Will post it up later hopefully .
Just reminded me also he still has my gator plate I also lent him to copy

[Toby]

Is much appreciated, I can imagine that you might not want to stick it on here, so please feel free to PM me or email me

All dimensions are in mm
The measurements taken are taken from centres of bolt holes which are steering rack mounts and lower subby mounts
There are some dimensions on there which are not exactly needed but more for cross reference .
The rads in corners are approx 1" or 2" if you prefer the dia.
My shell is pretty untainted so would like to think it is correct if there are any anomilies then both my shell and my mates 61 are both wrong
Hope it makes sense , please ask if you need any other info
