    Thank you I appreciate it. I talked with him a few months back and he said he is not going to do any more runs of them.

    I could duplicate one pretty close if Steve has no objections.

    I actually have some being made now. I have one of the automatic and one of the 4 speed units Steve made at a fab shop and they are going to attempt to duplicate them. If it works out, I may have a few to sell to help offset the costs. I did call and get Steve’s permission first. Great guy!

    A friend who is a metal fabricator is working on these when he has spare time, so it may take some time. It’s the best way to keep the cost down since the demand won’t justify a large order. If you are in a hurry, keep looking but I’m pretty confident he will eventually make them. I’ll update when I have more info and hopefully pics.

    James,
    I do not want to step on Andrew's post but if you have them made I would be in for one maybe two for an automatic.
    Thanks

    Hi Nelson,

    I’ll let you know once I have more information if this becomes a reality. The automatic version (left one) is much shorter than the 4 speed version due to the location of the crossmember in regards to the trans tunnel where the loop sits. Here is a picture showing the differences.

    I'll take sloppy 2nds (or 3rds) for one for my automatic GS455. Pleeeze!

    Does anyone know if the auto model will fit with a 2004r conversion done?
