Tom,
BJ8 dowel bolts will work fine in place of roll pins, and the roll pin holes
are the
right size for a 1/4-28 tap. Unfortunately I don't know of any ready source
for the
dowel bolts, but they should be possible to find--British Car Specialists
might be
a good place to look first. They are also easily fabricated from regular
1/4" bolts.
regards,
Doug Reid, 18G Motorworks

Hi Listers
My BJ7 shift lever is acting up. I installed new roll pins, but realized
that one of the pins jumped out. Of course, the shifter and bronze bushing
jumped out. What size do I need (diameter and length), and has anyone
modified a MKI shifter tith a blot like the MKIII's?
If I use the roll pins, how far should I drive them so that they hold the
shifter in its proper place?
Thanks.
Tom
