T2 Gene Berg shifter group buy

Looks like a knockoff of BugTech German shifter?!

 

I actually went through your thread to find that name yesterday evening.
Yes they look good indeed, are cheaper and made in France (I think I should see that as a good thing ). I might get one at some point.

Order direct

 

I wouldnt call it knock off, it is its own design

bugtech is great design and quality. i got one originally but SWMBO didn't let me fit it; too modern for the look of an old bus. I hindsight she was right.. berg looks much better.

 

Is Bugtech the one with the exposed bars, levers, pins and stuff – for someone to jam their toes into?

 

yes

 

in fairness you could always knock up a leather boot for the exposed gubbins if you wanted. TBH i think my wife was also a bit put off by the marketing leaflet that came with the bugtech, scantily clad young lady holding said shifter in a provocative manner.. maybe targeted at a younger demographic

 

I emailed them here is what they sent me.

Scuse my ignorance but what do these £200/£300 shifters give you over the stock ones? Guessing it is something to do with eliminating the stirring porridge feeling

 

Locking option

 

So why are these shiney bits better than standard ? I referbed all mine and it’s sweet ...

 

As in a security feature?

 

Yes

 

We could chip in, buy Theresa May a resto project. She will be so shocked by the spiraling cost, she will negotiate a deal to end UK/USA import duty.

 

i have a gene berg shifter that i'm looking at selling if anyone is interested, it was for a 1974 latebay RHD. It's in really good condition and i still have the original packaging and instructions for fitting. Looking for £150
