Beatrush Reverse Lockout Lever
 
6 Attachment(s)
No-shop affiliation here, just a nice find that I thought I would share:

Got sent these pics from MiataRoadster, as they are gearing up their line up to support he FT86 chassis. Looks like the distributor is gathering pre-orders to bring some into the US from Japan.

Available in 5 colors (Purple, Red, Blue, Gold, & Silver).
Direct-Bolt On. No modifications required.
Made of Lightweight Aluminum (37grams).
MSRP -$59.00

Deciding between Red, Blue, or Gold myself...

does this shorten the overall height? looks like those shift boots are all bunched up

Why no black?

It's supposed to be a stock replacement. All the pics other than the one with the silver one look normal as my own stock unit... :iono:

The demo car most likely has a short shifter installed already. Only thing I can think of.

This. Anodized black would be clean with a black duracon knob.

How do you swap these?
I have red coming and will post pics once it's installed.

Dustin 08-12-2013 11:22 PM

So the purpose of this is just to have a different color I'm assuming?

jack43 08-13-2013 12:59 AM

For aesthetic reasons I reckon.

It looks like there are set screws on the lockout lever? I haven't found time to look better.

+1 I want an anodized black please ... or titanium burned blue

I'm pissed they released this after I bought a BPS short throw. I've actually yet to install it, but I'm completely satisfied with the stock shifter throw; I just hate the plastic lockout ring!!

Edit: JUST KIDDING, the BPS shifter is amazing. So glad I got it! Action is much more solid now and the lockout mechanism feels great!

I just got mine in the mail. Really cool looking. It has instructions but they're in Japanese.

Anyway it looks like you use a punch to knock out the pin that goes through it. The instructions for the (similar) Perrin reverse lever says to get under the car and wedge a hex wrench in to the shifter cable. This makes enough slack to beable to undo the lever.

I call @ft86speedfactory and they said that step isn't required. So I've given it a go with a punch and mallet but no luck. If anyone has success will you post up your secrets?
