EMPI 16-2070-0 Adjustable Weld On Shifter Rod Tip For 7/8" x 0.065" Wall Tubing Uses Early Coupler

Normally customers use 7/8" x 0.065" wall tubing to make their shift rod. They cut the cup / socket off of an OEM beetle's shift rod and weld that to the front side of the shift rod. For the transmission side, you'll weld the 16-2070-0 adjustable shift rod tip, then use an early model VW shift coupler to connect to the transmission.

We don't sell 7/8" x 0.065" wall but we do sell a slightly thicker 7/8" x 0.095" wall tubing for strength. If you use 0.095" wall, you'll have to grind out the end of the pipe for the shoulder of the 16-2070-0 to fit into.

The shoulder on this adjuster is slightly less than 3/4". It will also fit into 1" x 0.120" wall tubing, but if you're building everything around EMPI's 00-3158-0 or 00-3158-7 or Latest Rage's 711990 weld-on shifter boxes or using a stock VW shift rod tunnel, the weld-on boxes and the OEM tunnel use a 7/8" ID bushing for a 7/8" shifter rod.
