Rigid Hips Speed-E-Shift (Nick-E-Shift)


And there you have it, a 100% accurate reproduction of George Tatge's fantastic dragracing invention from 1951 The Speed-E-Shift.


Set up exactly like the originals, including stainless cotterpins.


Ok, the original Speed-E-Shifters didn't have shouldered brass bushings installed but I just could not help myselfe...


One piece spacer-bushings and polished stainless glide-rods for the E-shackles to glide on.


Teeth of solid steel.


Neutral lever and banana-arm lined up ready to lock the shift-rod in place.


1-N-2-3-4
Bolt heads are seated in counter-sunk holes and then pressed in the E-shackles, exactly like the originals.


Pivot arm bushings.


Ready for road-testing.


And finally a little video of the Rigid Hips Speed-E-Shift.

    Thanx guys, things are moving forward fast right now and I will start taking orders real soon, all of you that already emailed me about buying one will remain on the list and I will start to hammer them out one by one, just a little testing to do before doing so.

    Neste synd Nicke at inte den fidusen ble oppfunnet under tyve tallet, da skulle jeg likt å hatt en på mitt ongoing Harley racer bygge :-(

    Are you working out of a shop? I have heard a lot about you. If you ever need an extra set of hands I'd be stoked to help out. Some pretty mind blowing ideas. I have a lot to learn about how it goes from an idea to the real thing. Keep it up.
