Re: Button safety? Racers?

[Robert <r.lane@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've always thought the pushbuttons would be hard to get used to on the 1/4, 
and still haven't used it enough on the street to think any different.
However, as the steering wheel's on the wrong side over here (on our 
'regular' cars), I suppose I'm at an advantage and should be used to 
shifting with my left hand.
Thanks Jim, hadn't thought of it like that!

As for mods to the p/b's to make it easier, I saw a while ago an article on 
John Cope's (of Cope Racing Transmissions) 63 Dodge which he has relocated 
the p/b assembly over to the right hand side, where the heater controls 
were. I suppose that's always an option if you're not too bothered about 
keeping the car original.

WOw, I'd like to see a picture of that setup.
You know, that pushbutton deal is a little hard to get used to.
I have shifted with my right hand all my driving life, and I spend a lot of
time sitting in my street after backing out... trying to figger out how to
go forward. But I like it.
