Default Short-shifter ?

Guys, asked this on the P3 section but no responses as yet. I know folk on here are a bit more adventurous & likely to do mods, so this is the question:

The gear lever throw on my P3 with the M66 gearbox is too long for my liking so thinking about options to shorten the shift.
I can't find any off-the-shelf kits so might end up making something myself.
Maybe similar to this:

Just wondering whether anyone here has done this, or has any ideas.

The M66 was also used on the ph2, so this might be a good place to ask too !

I can't answer your question but I know what you mean.

My old S60 2.0T with M56 5-speed manual had a much shorter throw than the M66 in my S40 T5. Never was a big fan of the M66.
