I posted the pic. It's in my folder if it gets bumped.

Some wise words there. The short shift wont transform the box into a racer. As mentioned above "the syncros" need time to do there thing.

Maybe a bit less.

I've been tying to pay attention to how this shifts. First of all, I have a 1/2, 3/4, 5/R 5spd. The 2 to 3 shift is pretty easy. When I push out of 2nd, the spring that centers your stick in Neutral pushes the stick right in front of 3rd.
Going from 4th to 5th is difficult. You push out of 4th, make sure your centered, then push towards 5/R and push up. With such a short throw it's hard to go "diagonally" from 4th to 5th. It doesn't take much to move too far, past Neutral, and not be able to move sideways.
Remember, only the throw is shortened. The side to side movement does not change.
It's also not a "dog" box. The synchros need some time to do their thing. It seems like my movements are slower to get it to shift correctly. It could also be the condition of my trans.

I tapped the original fulcrum pin hole M10x1.25 and used M10x1.25 flathead (countersunk) screws. The block sits on the transmission and the countersunk screws help keep it in position.

By the way, I've been trying to upload a diagram but the file is too big. I'm still working on reducing the size and still have the dimensions readable.

Yes it does make sense haha. I only got the box today so i havent really started at the moment because im making a strut bar first.

the original hole has been threaded and they are a tapered head short screw that screws into it ...

.... think that makes sense

how are they coming along ??any closer to be sorted ?

ang94541 how is the peice that attaches to the gearbox attached. This bit

ok i have a gearbox now that im going to use for measurements now

sssute have you finnished the short shifters that you were making?

They are on the side of the box. (Right side I think) You'd probably need to drop the box to do it, they are usually locktited in.
