Shorten a T9 Gearbox.....Am I crazy???

Hi Guys,
 
Toying with the notion of putting a 5 speed in my RS2000, but im very reluctant to cut holes etc to fit it.
 
I have a vague recollection of someone posting here some time ago something about modifying the gearbox, in effect shortening it so that none of the tunnel needed to be cut.....
 
Ive had a bit of a search but cant find anything relating to it.
 
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to put a t9 in, without having to cut any part of the tunnel etc?. In effect turning it into the same length as a std 4 speed?.
 
Dave

    Hmmm I'm in Melbourne.

    Surely if there's someone in Brisbane, there must be someone in Melbourne??

    I'm sure I saw a post on Turbosport somewhere.

    Hi Dave i came across some photos of a type 9 with a shortened shift rail. Does not look too difficult to do. Hope the photos show up
