A little update:

A "diy" shortshift Cool

The aluminum plate was fabricated (similar to the one provided by T3) with a 20mm thickness

The car awaits the upgraded organ...

Cutting...

A 20mm metal cylinder was welded in between

Greasing up...

Paper gaskets

Final assembly

Done!

A good and inexpensive upgrade. It doesn't make a big difference in performance but the gear changes are quicker and smother.
The next step is to get a taller gear shifter to have it closer to the steering wheel.

And more recently, I finally got some time in Portugal to mount the trailing arms and panhard rod. Smile

OEM vs upgraded Cool

A kind of a hassle to take some of them out of the mountings!

Panhard and traction bracket installed

A bit of "tender" hammering was required in order to put those new rod ends into place

And the four link finally installed and ready for its first play:

After a quick spin, I should say that there is a big difference in handling and in the overall driving feel. The car feels so much more direct and the reactions of the rear axle are immediately converted in steering feedback.

A really good investment. Thumbs up!

I didn't have the time to adjust the lenghts of the trailing arms or at least the panhard in order to recenter the rear axle but at least the non-existence of bushing compliance in the rod ends really makes a big difference.
