The piece of rubber is flat that they have supplied me, this was my original plan and I will eventually get round to fitting it.

The idea I have is a smaller in diameter version of what was originally supplied but instead of it sealing around the end of the tube it has a flat flange, this would then sit between the tube and bulk head, the gaiter would then sit inside the tube so that it is protected from the heat and would also seal around the rod..... However I can't find any thing on the market that is a small enough diameter to sit inside the tube and have a flange to sandwich between the tube and bulk head

Hi Dave, just a suggestion.... What if the tube extended into the car and then the original design boot could be used but on the inside of the car rather than in the bay, this would solve the melting boot issue and would still seal around the linkage bar!

Even if the tube that extends into the car just sleeves in side the original tube with a slight interference fit, that way it wouldn't mean making all new ones to replace the 5 already made?

I'm hoping the solution doesn't require any welding tbh

Just based on comments/suggestions above, I'm excited but equally intimidated of the complexity of this right now

Hi Chr1sch, there will be no welding, the permanent bulkhead seal supplied will be exactly the one used in all future kits. It will be bolt on.

Ok I take back what I said, sorry.
it sounds like an excellent customer service is been done here.

Hi all,
Thanks for the kind words, we would never expect any one to put up with a issue on our behalf. RE KAM racing, we still have the next batch here (waiting on powder coaters), as soon as they're back chances are we will send it direct to you, saves time. As for the seal, it will be whichever comes first, if they arrive before the updated laser cut parts do, then we'll supply the temporary fix and follow up with the other after.

As for the bulkhead seal; I have designed a new part this morning, ended up changing it a second time. the idea with the rubber sheet with a cross cut in will be a purely temporary measure as said so you guys can get on and use it. The main reason for not going ahead with this design permanently is because daylight can be seen on the seal around the rod, chances are a minimal amount of ingress will happen but that isn't good enough, secondly scrutineering in motorsport dictates that bulkhead/firewalls must be completely sealed.

I've designed a flange (instead of two tabs) to bolt up to the bulkhead and a tube that goes into the cabin instead of the engine bay (very similar to Ollie's idea of a sleeve, and Damien's with as longer tube) with an average of a 15-20mm wide area to cover any errors/discrepancies in your drilling in your bulkhead. Everything will fit as per what you have already apart from enlarging the hole somewhat to allow the sleeve to go through the bulkhead. I have placed the bolting holes vertically instead so bolting should be easier too.

Going to a customer's place later to verify the one I've fabricated to check everything fits and works perfectly before we add it to the kits.

Again, any problems, please do not hesitate to email me (dave@satchellengineering.co.uk)

Great stuff

Guess who can't wait till This Friday ?
Two of us are going to fit my Satchell shift WITH my dash IN !!!!
Will be taking lots of pics

Well had a couple of hrs to start the install of my Satchshift today .!!
Didn't 100% go to plan ....but got all the undercar heatshields from gear selector forward off ...
Removed the centre console & the very lower heater direction 2inch plastic which stops you getting to the drill point inside !

Goes from left to right ...In the centre of the picture ....trying to find out what the black cable with muti wires inside with the (Blue) tape on in the picture is ?
It's In front of the floor Heaterbox base fixing floor bolt in the picture ?????
Wire goes under the dash & clips onto the tunnel floor under the dash and under the carpet left passenger to right drivers footwell ?

(NOT) the bigger multi wrapped coloured cables on the right....YOU CAN SEE THIS ONE CLEARLY

The other you can't no way

Mines a phase 2

Day666 has attached the following image:

Mines a phase two !

Anybody know what the Blue Taped wire in picture above is ????
