B.RAD Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I don't think there is a 'produced' bent version, they're just made by the owners to suit their application. Mine is a Quaife quick shift with a nick cut out, bent and rewelded by my great mate Marto. If you don't have a welder, just do the cut yourself in the right place then ask your local friendly body repairer to put a line of weld in it.

Stephen W Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Quaife sell a bent one. Id rather not notch one for track use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Fair enough. Works fine for all those of us who have done it in the speed series if that alleviates your mind. They've taken more than their share of abuse over the years. I actually think I might have a spare Quaife quick shift that has been modified in this way, I really can't see why it would be any weaker, surely the weld actually makes it stronger? Anyway, I'll post a pic if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 A good weld is as strong as the steel itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen quite a few cut and rewelded gearsticks fracture at the weld site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maurici Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Mines broke in a flat section of steel... Welding was fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960dave Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 If you want it rewelding I can get one of the panel beaters at work to do it for you. I work close to you and the beaters welding has to be tested every 6 months for BSI so they are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
