See figure 2. From a point approximately two inches forward of the setscrew hole, scribe a line on the gear shift shaft tubing. Make this mark directly on centerline; forward at least 18 inches.
This line is critical, use a metal scribe so it will be legible.
Using the 14 ¾ inch measuring stick, used to mark the belly pan, mark 14 ¾ inches to be cut within the distance of the 18 inch scribed line.
Cut with a hacksaw so the cuts will be smooth and remove 14 ¾ inches.
Lay the gearshift shaft in a piece of angle iron with the scribe lines perfectly aligned and clamp the shaft to the angle iron. This will insure a straight joint when you weld the parts together.
