Hello Kid,

       if you can't find one, contact Paul A.... he welds a little
       dealie on the side of the stock DATSUN lever so that it is off
       centered, ala the sprite one...

       (a sprite lever is offset slightly to the right, whereas the
       datsun comes of in the middle of the tranny).

       one caveat about this. at least on mine, the sihift lever moves
       forward enough that it WON'T come up through the stock hole in
       the shift lever can. or rather it will come up, but won't fit
       to shift into 1st, 3rd, or Reverse. you'll soon also be looking
       for another shift gaiter, and the trim ring from a later 1500
       type spridget. ......... i was (might still get it, tho it's
       been two years) having a fiberglass one cast from the stock
       hump thingy, but one inch shorter, and without the hole cut, so
       that i could cut the hole to fit, add a BIG healy shift boot
       rubber, and it would all look "near stock". .. ..

       good luck in all this, you're gonna love the 5 speed version of
       a spridget!
