A couple of things I failed to mention. Notice in the scan that the black
shifter ring used different screws then the chrome one. These are listed as
part number 9056050 and are black. I know because I've still got a Rootes
package of them I purchased some 25 years ago from RJ Grimes. Also, the
Tiger parts book used numbers starting with 6 to identify Ford parts. So,
the black shifter ring identified as 1229984 was not a Ford part. Someone
other than Ford supplied it to Rootes.
