The gentleman on eBay seems to be selling the whole kit, do take a look and see if I am missing something – your comments are greatly appreciated.
Will see what pans out and thank you for the kind offer of gearbox tunnel cover..
You can use a stronger material than soap and water, that will take awhile. Another possibility is simply Pledge a furniture spray which will loosen the adhesive, but won’t effect the bakerlite.
I am sure that you can work out why I have experimented with all these different solvents / cleaning agents etc in our business.
If I’m looking at the correct ebay item it’s ex-DB4 and in Malvern. Seeing the shift more closely, again I’d recommend a call to GW to see if they have converted one of these 3-speed floor shifts to 4-speed, and how. On the column change there is no externally visible machining etc needed for the conversion, just a new 4-speed label, but this 3 speeed floor shift appears to have “scallops” for the D, D and L.
2 further thoughts, if you do end up in Malvern we are not far away so you could have a demo of how the 4-speed works. Also, you’ll need to ensure the engine front damper is “as new” because mine broke apart the first time of kick-down from 3 to 1: the metallastic sheared
Brasso worked in the end!
David – looks like I will be visiting Malvern shortly, and will try and arrange to visit you at the same time.
Have spoken to GW and yes conversion possible.
Thread resurrection! The “new” gearknob has started to craze badly, and sadly it’s not through over use. Nearing the time to get one made, I think
I’m thinking a having a local machinist make a replacement gearknob in polished aluminium or brass, same dimensions as the original. Does anyone else want to join me in a short run of them? Cost tbc
