honestly, its simple.
remove gear selector to linkage pin (gearbox end)
slacken the selector rod pinch nut (under the car)
remove the linkage securing pin (on the rear engine mount)
remove the linkage assembly, pop off the top balljoints to make it easier
fit the new shorter shift bit. and reassemble
set up the gear linkage as in haynes manual.

Thinking of getting it myself, had my eye on it a while but more pressing things to do first (like getting the car back from the booth for starters ).
Coming together though; new alloys/tyres, depo lights currently in transit, badgeless grill.
This next probably then my springs.
