Gear linkage. How have you twisted yours?

[MarkT]

Hi there. Simple question really. I have noticed that the gear linkage on the E30 325 box is cast ally and potentially brittle. Just wandering how others have managed to modify theirs? Moderate heat first?

Thanks

I cut and TIG´d it.

Allow it to run/melt nicely before attempting to weld it, also helps to cat some chamfers where you are going to lay the bead.

Cheers chap. Need to find a keen man with a TIG then.

Where are you in oxford? I'm 12 miles south west for OX1
