Yes, the low range stick needs lifting or it rubs hard on the floor and the gearbox stick needs bending or it'll pop out of gear 3rd mainly iirc.

I massaged the body around the low range lever with the BFH. As said, no other real dramas involved. Also had to trim the fan shroud a little.

I twisted the High/Low range lever off then heated it up and bent it forward then put it back on. Good as new. It just wouldnt go in to low range at all without doing that.

every cruiser must be different as i had no need to modify the gear levers or surround. I did however drop the radiator, and made a steering shaft extension, otherwise there were no other modifications.

Yeh, off memory I had to loosen the steering shaft spline and let it slip a few mm.

I have heard the same, I also dropped the radiator and made a steering shaft extension out of aluminium.
