Carlos,
my Pop's BN1 racer has a 'Z' type lever, but i believe it was done in the
garage @ his'Werks'(Woodbury Road;Jackson,Mississippi) in the early '60's by
his chief mechanic,Pete Tyre(cert.Ford factory mechanic at the time) with
'heat persuasion'..........
HoYo

with sideshift gear boxes ever come with a "Z" type lever instead of the
more common "L" type lever? I would like to figure out a way to get the
Works OD switch in a more vertical position rather than the tilted
horizontal position provided with the "L" type lever.

type of car that came with a Z" type lever that can be retro-fitted to a
Healey gear box? Any leads for me to research are greatly appreciated.

favorite navigators this past Wednesday - my yellow lab, Gracie. She loved
to go for rides in the car and was always there when my children had no
interest. If the car alone didn't turn heads, Gracie in the passenger seat
certainly did.
