Default M90 adjustable short-throw shifter feeler/Group buy

I have been talking to John Grimsmo recently, the proprietor of cravingboost.com. He makes some cracking good stuff for volvos, but it's all out of production at the moment, as he's working on another big project for the forseeable future. However, he said he's open to making a short run of his adjustable short-throw shifters for the M90 gearbox, which as far as I know are the only ones available in the world.

Not only does it give you a crisper quicker gearshift, but also allows you to adjust how much shorter the throw is, and you can keep your stock gear knob and gaiter, it's completely invisible visually. These will fit any car with an M90 gearbox, 940s, 960s, S/V90s, or any 740s or 240s anybody may have converted. they will NOT work with and M46/M47 box, I'm afraid.

We haven't worked out exact pricing yet, but some back-of-an envelope calculations done by me puts the pricing at around £140ish per shifter, posted to your door in the UK with all taxes/customs fees/postage paid.

So is anybody interested? this is still an early-stage feeler, so no finished products will be ready for a while yet, but I'd like to see who's potentially on board.
