After making up my first one and running it on my car without any problems I have decided to make a few in very limited numbers (depending on final sale price).

I have put the first one on ebay to get a feel what people are willing to pay to see if its worth my while producing any more..

You will need an aftermarket steering wheel and boss to fit.

p.s. Im a member of the UK fto owners club, will post to australia at cost price.

not really sure on a price yet as its the first 1 im selling. Going to put the first few on ebay to work out what people are willing to pay for them.

Postage to Australia shouldnt be too expensive as they are quite light.

i would imagine it would be the same as you shifting normally.
well technically + the 0.000000001 of a second for the light wave to travel from the pedal to the reciever, but i highly doubt you will notice the difference, if you do... then YOU have a problem lol

nope its not a copy - quality of leather work is excellent. Got it on ebay but it wasnt cheap, paid around £70 - £80 for it in new conditon. Genuine momo boss on there too. No cheapo copies for me!

mine is the smaller 320mm version
