Nice, it not all grotty and faded

[Stickyfinger]

I had to use a knife to scrape the crap off it before sanding. it was horrid thick, I thought it was the varnish....but no..YUK !!!!!

Does the gearbox just pull off or are there any 'fittings' involved. Mine's not looking good but i'm fearful i'll smash it. Once tried to clean it up in situ but made a pigs lug of it.

I just (sharply) turned it to the left and it lifted off....it has left the plastic on the stick. I do not know if that is the correct way but that's what epoxy is for

Nice big shiny knob

Will I need some epoxy for my corner bumpers ? If so.... please include some when you send them

[superloopy]

Knowing my luck a quick yank either way and i can see me left with a complete stick assembly in my hand[emoji1]

You could always pop down and help me move the car forward a bit so I can get at the left side one, no wheels and on stands so best bring your dollies to play with

Sooooon mate (been waiting for my mate up the hill with his trailer/winch)

Nice job on the knob Alasdair Most I see are really grotty and it spoils the whole car. Mine is fine but I guess it has been refurbished with some really good varnish in the past - by the previous owner maybe...

[Stickyfinger]

Before and fitted.


One note, to remove the knob, PULL UP after releasing the gear stick gaiter___DO NOT Twist it as this will shear the lugs off the plastic...which had been done on mine hence the confusion.

This removes the Knob with the gaiter attached, put the knob in a vice (protect it) and pull up on the plastic sleeve that attaches to the metal stick and fits inside the knob

[Stickyfinger]

Well, after my little "come together" with a nice big blue EURO Pallet I needed to referb a spare Activa wheel.....so I did.

(and No, the HedgeJumper" tire is not staying on)

So, Alloys or "steelies" ?

[chinkostu]

I see you satin'd the mirror!

[Stickyfinger]

Yeh.....to see what I thought of taking the whole unit back to black from the metallic grey they are now.

I will be switching the whole mirror units to satin black, the test convinced me that they grey is way to "modified" for me and a little to chav ......needless to say it is now bugging the cr4p out of me every time I look at it
