Default Shifter and brake lever?

I want to change my current shifter and hand brake lever to the ones found in the C2S model 993's. I know Gert sells them but they are on the expensive side. Anyone here selling theirs, a black one is a must. Or anyone here know where to get them cheaper?

Keith-

You may want to chheck regulary on e-bay as various of these items are put on auction. Just last week a used/pretty good-shape shifter auction off at $275. With the brakes is the same story. Also, if I may suggest, while you are at it changing the shifter, why not upgrade to the short-**** kit.

Here it is...



It is a little shorter than stock, and I like the feel better the factory one.

No Its silver painted plastic and doesnt wear too well.

I have this on the 993RS and it is due for replacement (Gert has a carbon and steel one on order for me).

The RS shifter may not have the durability, quality or feel of the TEquipment alternative - but I will say it represents FAR better value and is a step up from the factory standard arrangement...
