Ron,
I did this last summer. I shortened my shaft by 3-1/2". A company in
Pittsburgh named Island Spring, shortened the shaft and balanced it for
about $150. As far as the switches go, I purchased the relay and isolation
switch from Quantum Mechanics in Monroe, CT. They rebuild British
transmissions, overdrives, and differentials. They were quite helpful wiring
the overdrive.
If your interested:
Quantum Mechanics, LTD.
505 Wheeler Road
Monroe, CT 06468
(203) 459-9612
Hope this helps.
