Anybody know where I can find one that will fit on my 1960s era Mercedes
Benz four cylinder engine's (I bought the engine from J.C.Whitney back
in the 1970s) column shift style transmission.The kind of a top plate
stick shift to replace the two levers top plate that is already on
there? At a cheap price, hopefully.

I have some old Ford T Model frames and axels and wheels and some other
parts, also a 1928 Chevrolet frame with the front and rear axels and
steering column and springs.I was thinking about building something
simiar to an old Mercer Raceabout car.

have you tried looking in a junkyard to see if you could find a floor
shift?  I know that by the late 60's M-B was using floor shift four
speeds, although they pretty quickly disappeared from the US market.
I have no idea if those were the same basic transmission as what you
have or not.

There is a local Mercedes Benz new car dealership in this city.There is
also a guy who works on older model Mercedes Benz cars in another city
near me.I haden't thought to check with him.I will phone him
tomorrow.Back in the early 20th century, about 100 years ago, Steinway
(of piano fame) was building Mercedes Benz cars and trucks in New
York.And FIAT was building cars in New York too.
