Ronnie, i mean no offence by this, but you must be really short, or I am rather tall ...
I drove Toady last night, very nice to drive, but i have issues with the gear lever. I would never be able to drive her in 5th gear as my left knee gets in the way, third was bad enough.
For those of you who dont know, Toady was owned by Ronnie and he sold her to Vincent. As Ronnie is very short, he bent the gear lever so the the lever is a lot closer to the steering wheel than you would expect and as the seats were modded to be a lot further forward to accomodate Ronnie it was a rather interesting drive.
Overall I like Toady and am rather impressed by some of the mods you did Ronnie.
Sorry it was too dark for me to take photos otherwise I would of.

Hi Steve
I am sure you must be tall. ;D. As far as the gear lever is concerned it is angled for LHD. Perhaps I bent it too much for some people but it was fine for me. It would be easy to alter the seat runners if need be. Glad you liked Toady

What part of the gear lever did you bend?

Hi Charles
You need to bend the lever below the rubber anti vibration join. It is not easy and you need heat.
