Gear shift gaiter stay

[Jay85]

Hi guys,

Thought I'd chuck this up for anyone with a short shifter who, like me like a bit of shaft (giggles) showing

After fitting my short shifter (TC's I think) it sat like this:

The top of the gaiter was irritating me when I changed gear so I took the knob off (more giggles) I don't think you need a pic of that. Next I took one of the rubber mounting from my old shifter:

And took the metal collar out so I was left with this:

I then turned the bush (snigger) inside out, this was so the molding tabs were hidden. It was probably the hardest part, but I then had this:

I then popped the bush (hehe) over the thread and down the shaft ☺️:

Then using a flat head screwdriver I manuliptated the top edge of the gaiter into the ridge of the bush 😁:

Once that was in (probably the second hardest part) I set the height I wanted the gaiter sat at by pushing the bush down:

I then screwed my knob back on and this is how it looks:

Hope this is of use to some one 😊 and sorry about the quality of the pics and the cleanliness of my car!
