    This was before the later cable shift boxes (C530 and C630, as used with later Bussos)

    So in theory, it could be possible to fit the C503 cable shift selector to a pre C503 mechanical shift gearbox.
    If that was possible, it would get you round the problem of the 164 mechanical selector shaft operating at the wrong angle for a mid engined car (but the right angle for a FWD car)
    Now that is useful information Chris!

    A bit on the theoretical side Chris, for now.
    Here's a photo of a C503 cable shift box: You can see the redundant mechanical shift webs on the top, just like a 164 gearbox.
