Hi,
Gear selection is typically bad, and fast changes impossible. I am going to replace all the bushes, and have already ordered the Tangerine Racing firewall bush. The Rennspeed shift lever looks like it would help too. Can anyone comment please ? I am mystified as to what this aluminium disc is supposed to do, any ideas ? Thanks, Tony.

It looks like a custom retainer for a broken firewall bushing.
If you're lucky, the screw hole will line up with one of the rivet holes for the new firewall bearing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

It's not like new bushings are mega expensive are they ? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The bushings are cheap enough but if you don't have one on hand, and you do have an assortment of metal bits floating around... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) On the other hand, a proper replacement should have been installed at the first opportunity. |

Now I am working on the linkage no doubt I will be getting a few more parts from you. The car is fully road legal in the UK and the engine and gearbox totally rebuilt. New FIA roll cage and new seats. Still more to do ! Cheers, Tony (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1079.photobucket.com-18698-1494598437.1.jpg) |
