He says he is tempted to re-look at his 205 kit to make it similar. Time will tell!

as for std linkages being unrelaible ,my experince is the opposite ,,when building a track car I would just fit a new set of std ones ,about £20-£30 and a normal type alloy housing unit never had a problem-.the only real advantage i can see is that it gets the lever end closer to the steering wheel so quicker to get to it with your hand from the wheel ..
looks alot of work to fit ,but looks well made. i have to say i can see a good purpose for it if someone was to splash out on a squential box though and don,t want to pay silly money for a custom set-up .
If it had been available at the time i fitted my hewland i probably would have used that to start with and not gone to all the expense of air paddle shift + gear tronics ecu etc, at least to start with.
it would be easy to convert to a straight line change lever assembly.
For the sequential you would barely need more than two metal pipes and some rose joints so you would only need a couple of bits My setup is not much more than that. Your kit sounds like fun though! I take it the ecu controls the timing of the changes for each gear? I just have a switch on a spring loaded lever so as I pull back the engine is cut, but when I let go it springs back into its off position. I think I can then use the engine ECU to stay cut as long as the switch is activated though i've not got that far with the build..
