Has anybody got a surplus original 1275cc Marina gear lever I can have? I've never been happy with the shape of mine and I would like to make a new one.

AFAIK there are two versions. If you end up with two different ones a photo of each might be useful for others.MOC member since 05/97

You can still have this one anyway, hopefully it will be the correct one.

Re: Marina gear lever
Hi Franklin I have just been in the Garage to find that the Gear Lever I was going to post to you has gone. I cant find it but I do have another as per picture.
I am sorry but if this one will fit your needs you are still ok to have it for the cost of postage.

Re: Marina gear lever
That looks about right to me Adrian. Steve, I know there were 3 types of box - early, late and o/d but I was told they all had the same lever - I hope so.Franklin, LeicesterComment

Re: Marina gear lever
The Marina was never fitted with OD as standard. That was a Triumph option that never made it into the BL market.
But there are quite a few Marlins fitted with what are best described as hybrid gearboxes with OD, a subject discussed in detail in some of the early Pistops.MOC member since 05/97
