Kirban Shifter Question
I bought a used Kirban shifter from a member here on the board and it did not come with the bolts/nuts in the shifter that are made to adjust the shifter travel. Does anyone know what the size of these are?
Thanks

I have a KIRBAN shifter and love it. The adjusters are Allen screws with a jam nut:
I suppose that you could use hex head bolts if you wanted. Take your shifter to the hardware store and see what bolts fit. Shift the shifter to the rearward or forward position, insert something into the stop hole to see how deep the hole is. Add enough exterior thread to install a thin jam nut and you should be good to go.
MAKE SURE that you also purchase longer screws to secure the shifter to the box. The STOCK OEM SCREWS will not work! You need longer ones. Just figure out the death of the hole in the shifter box, add the thickness of the shifter body and find a screw that is a little shorter.
You can also call KIRBAN and ask them the size of the stop bolts.
