Sadly not Joep  Its only for Full Sequencial straight forward and backwards gearboxes m8…  There is a company that does something for H pattern standard gearboxes Try these http://www.mme-motorsport.com/en/products |

Visited Wales today to visit Kalvin Green and his Dad and have a look at the LHD 306 wide arch car which came in from Poland….they bought …Hes had to change some bits He cant run Carbon roof or doors with the Rally Logbook he needs so hes fitting steel … It was the for sale £40k one 2weeks ago -Tony Palfrey put him in touch with me saying i had a uprated 306 and i may be able to give a little advice before he buys it I was sent loads of pic and said to him its unlike any 306 under the bonnet and front and rear suspension id ever seen …. Its a EW10 engine 208-R2 rear suspension 208-R2 front You name it …it nearly has it A very very special car  |

So basically i ended up buying the full Carbon roof  I know it may cause me issues but it will stop the roof condensation…. so i wont need a headlining any longer …that my justification anyway  |

Well I started at 9.30 today with windscreen out and tailgate off already…. Finished getting the steel roof off 1.50pm some 4hrs 20 later Im pleased with that and the roofs being up-cycled ready for Ross Chapman now to fit to his current (sun-roofed) 306 with & taken off with no damage 😮 I recon a 2hr job if your not worried about damaging the steel roof I was shocked how heavy the steel roof was Also tried the new Carbon roof on to see how it fits …spot on  |
