I want to replace the 9lb shift tube craziness on my Europa with a cable shifter....has anyone made their own?

I kind of like the early Lotus Esprit cross gate style....

No. But if what you come up with involves ready made cables that are too long, I can tell you how to shorten them for dirt cheap.

I cobbled one together out of some McMaster cables, a neon shifter and boxster linkage. I was definitely spoiled by the Porsche parts fitting the VW box.
