<VV> LM quick shift question (Corsa vs non Corsa shift tower)

[Duane, Jim]

I can't speak for all of them, but on my '66 Corsa I have the potmetal
cover that's chrome/black with a little rubber seal that the shifter
exits through.  The shifter base has two tapped holes that the box
attaches to.  Maybe others don't have them...
	My Corsa seems to have the same shifter available to all 4 speed
Vairs.  When I added the quick shift kit, the extra length box (the
quick shift is just an extension of the shift lever, moving the pivot
point) causes the Corsa chrome box to hover off the rug!  Maybe somebody
made an extension that matches the look and size of the Corsa box...
But not mine!

OK, I need some clarification about 65-69 shifters, Is there a different
shift tower for 65-66 Corsas (other than the fact they have the chrome
housing over them) or are they the same as other 4 speed shift towers in
regards to throw travel?
 
Question being, does the 65-66 4 speed Corsas have a faster throw than
the other 4 speed shifters?
 
Does the quick shift kit (as sold by vendors) work well on the 65-69 4
speed and/or does the 61-64 trick of using the 61-64 3 speed shift tower
on the 61-64 4 speed to get a shorter throw work with the 65-69 3 speed
on a 65-59 4 speed?
 
I would like to shorten the shift throw on my 66 Monza Turbo..

PS.  For Bill Elliot, I remember how short your shift throw was for your
Corsa with quick shift kit installed...and how I couldn't find reverse
the first few times...
