yeah, they're a tight fit on the gearbox.
they're not very shiney though
if you want shiney awesomeness, rally desighn sell some good looking ones, and plenty on ebay, but £50-60
The mount on my gearbox has a huge split in the rubber? Is it possible to replace just the rubber or is a whole new mount needed?
Also, has anyone got a gearstick for a type 9 they want to part with?
Cheers Guys Jas Gray
(beer tokens await)
i found caterham or westfield (i forget which...) cheapest for gearbox mounts. about £15 mine was.
i would say a whole new mount is needed, they are bonded together.
Cheers Blake, I had a fair job to pull it out of there... At least a new one will be nice and shiney?
Is this the mount you are after Linky

like i say, mine was about £15, must have been from caterham coz i still get emails from them.

Is there anything available with longer wings?
The mount sits on top of my frame, but the bolt holes are no where near the frame, so would either need to make a plate and weld it in, or get one
with wider wings

I've got a nice rose-jointed quickshift type 9 lever (I think it's a Quaife one, might be Tran-X though) that I don't need.
It's identical to one of these, and I think it's the 210mm straight one, but mine comes with a nice ally gearknob as well:

£40 delivered to your door. Pics available in a couple of days if you want.
---Edited to add I think I have a gearbox mount as well if you want it - standard sierra one, second hand but functional. Free if you buy the
gearstick!
