How am I supposed to make millions selling these things if I give away all my secrets. . Just kidding of course.

The wrist pin was way to hard to drill. I used a chunk of a 5/8" bolt cut shorter than the wrist pin. I drilled and taped the bolt 3/8-fine and then drilled and taped 2 holes #8-32 and installed screws so the piston would not rock back and forth.

I used a nut to lock the piston into place once I got it where i wanted on the shifter.

Easy.......took about 1/2 hour. I can take some pictures tonight.
