Gearstick for a Type 9 gearbox

[wiggiesworld]

The previous owner of my Cabrio, in his wisdom, saw fit to take a hacksaw to the original gearstick followed by slapping on some weird T-bar extension, contraption, whatever its called.

All I know is that is an abomination and I wish to revert to something more original; OK I may bend it a bit for clearance and might even go so far as to hack off a bit myself but you get my drift.

So if anyone has a spare that they are prepared to move on, please let me know.

Condition doesn't have to be pristine, I'm happy to tart something up if necessary.

I have a shortened type nine gear shift lever ! That I bought for mine but didn't use .

Re: Gearstick for a Type 9 gearbox

How short/long are we talking here? Can you give a rough idea of stick length? I had been considering a Caterham 8" bent one (ha ha till I saw the price) and unfortunately that one was Quaife specific. But quite happy to buy a straight one and tweak it over a bit.

Re: Gearstick for a Type 9 gearbox

If that's no good I've got a stock one you can have, but it'll take some tarting up though ;-)

Re: Gearstick for a Type 9 gearbox

This is it a total of 7" from the base plate with the alloy gear knob fitted and bent back towards the driver the perfect angle and size for my car .l also fitted a new plastic bush that fits in the fork as this wears and causes play in the gear change .
available on EBay for a few pounds .
For some reason the site will not allow me to add any pictures .

Thanks for the piccies, looks like it would present nice (designer term... ha ha ha ha) in the car.
