I've got the remains of mine.....weird weird homemade setup I think.
but has the bracket/spring/shifter....weird bent /added on form to the shifter though.

Might be a good start

Free for you Trev!

I'll dig them out later today, hopefully can find it all..."workshop" is a mess!

Thanks for the reminder

Hi Trev, If you dont do any good with the others, I have a mate that has 2 speco floor shifts for sale. PM me and I'll give you his number.
Cheers Graham.

Thanks Graham .

Trev,
in the late '60's/early 70's - a lot of my mates cut the slot in the trans hump and fitted a "then" floor shift - just a rod with a plate welded to it. It bolted straight to the two selectors..... every one of them eventually killed the selector rods.

The "speco" in-line shifter was the next one to come along. First was a push down and forward, loaded by the spring meant pulling back to second raised the lever and moving back forward again found 3rd. Pushing down against the spring and pulling the lever back gave reverse.

This might be the ones which are on offer.

Of all the blokes I know who fitted them - no one had selector shaft problems. Adjustments seemed to be the only issue... when the unit began to wear.

Rosco

I had the inline shifter in a very quick Eh back in the seventies (yes i'm old) , Snapped many a selecter shaft , allways when you pulled back for second

Trev Ive got an original speco wodden knob (get your mind out of the gutter ) with the steel speco thingy on top if you want it...

Can't find all the bits.

But mine was pretty worn and breaking selector shafts too.

Hmmm..... ok, maybe they changed something in the design - or maybe the blokes I knew with them didn't risk a repeat of the old welded plate/lever disaster....
and trod gently with them.
Yes, 1st to 2nd was amazingly quick....... 2nd in most of the EH - HR's my blokes had them fitted to was good enough to break most speed limits...... no point in the gain of 1/100th of a second from 2nd to 3rd...... the old buses had more trouble recovering from valve bounce.....oh! they were the days.......
