Default Re: WQ Fiesta XR4/ST150 with Mazda SP25 engine

Decisions.

Getting the factory cables shortened by 120mm might have a starting cost of around $250 to $300 - assuming that all the OEM tips and bits can be re-used. If they can't then things change.

OR, get a custom cable made up to my specs. Maybe $100 per cable. I can put smaller ball stud sockets on them, especially at the shifter end, and alleviate some of my console clearance issues. But I'd need to fabricate some bits - like adapters to fit the M16 cable sheath threads into the factory 26mm bracket rings at each end - trans is metal, shifter is plastic. And how do I fabricate the rubber firewall cable gland/grommet that the cables run through that separates the engine bay from the cabin?
