Stew F Posted 8November, 2016 Report Share Posted 8November, 2016 I just ordered a factory M241 conversion kit from PCSA. Ex Melbourne, and just a few bucks more than buying it from OS and freighting it over. So when I get a spare Saturday afternoon I'll make a start.All new bushes for the shifter, actuator rod and coupler are ready to go. Stand by for a diy thread in the next few weeks. Anyone who has done this, how would you rate it's level of difficulty? How many spanners out of 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philbee Posted 8November, 2016 Report Share Posted 8November, 2016 Stew, there's a factory short shift kit for a 81 sc? How does it compare to the wevo one everyone seems to go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew F Posted 8November, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 8November, 2016 @Philbee, I've ordered the factory kit. I didn't really look at any others, except to eliminate the Weltmeister modification kit from the start. All the things I read about the factory kit suggested it's a good way to go. Will do a before and after once I've installed it. Hopefully no more spoon in a mixing bowl feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Kay Posted 8November, 2016 Report Share Posted 8November, 2016 I would give it 2 spanners out of 10 for difficulty.Like any project, slow and steady wins the race - be methodical and patient and you can't go wrong Oh and 11 spanners out of 10 for improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwright_11 Posted 10November, 2016 Report Share Posted 10November, 2016 @Stew F - very interested to see how you get on with this and if it is as good as reported as I have been considering the wevo but would prefer to keep the original look.Can you give an indication on price for the kit supplied through PCSA?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same bits from the bird, including postage came in at $306.35. I ordered it on Tuesday afternoon. Mark rang me this morning around 10 to say it was in. I decided to give the local blokes my money. There's still 2 ex stock in Melbourne. @Stew F - very interested to see how you get on with this and if it is as good as reported as I have been considering the wevo but would prefer to keep the original look.Can you give an indication on price for the kit supplied through PCSA?Cheers Yeah there is a Wevo original look one, but pretty expensive I think.

Philbee Posted 10November, 2016 Report Share Posted 10November, 2016 FYI: Factory fitted?, didn't know there was such a thing until this thread... So I called PCB today and asked them for a factory short-shift for an early g50 gearshift..yes it's M243 !! But just my luck "no longer available". It was $330 + gst and no boot to cover it either.
