I keep reading bad things about the GPL Shifter from Actlabs - springs going
on the gates, no high/low sequential shifterplate anymore etc etc
I only want a sequential one really - preferably with postage to the UK that
doesnt equate to daylight robbery

Im in Leicestershire too Doug....we could do a bulk order....my two mates
want one too.

Just use a joystick, most games now support multiple axis, map your up and
down shift keys to the joystick axis....Push pull...works great.

Funkadellic. BRD have one in the 'beta' process as it were - which is
actually what I would like to go for ( the pedals are the DB's - and I'll be
getting their FFB whell as long as it's not more than about �500 to replace
my momo)
There's also some strange japanese company making gear stick units (for �60
odd) - but postage is as much as the product!!

Good suggestion -it's something I've tried in the past - and whilst a bit
dodgy and heath robinson - it DID work - but it wasnt great as I didnt have
somewhere suitable to mount the joystick.
With the right sort of stick - this could be quite cool.

If all you want is a sequential shifter, you can build one for a couple
bucks. Here's one example:
