Hello folks,
This will be of interest to only the V8 fiends but just in case I am
sending to other MG bodies
My gear shift lever broke off at the bottom of the thread while
motoring to a car show. This made changing gear a bit
difficult. It looks like there was a flaw in the metal. What I
want to know is how difficult is it to replace the the part in the
SD1 5-speed gearbox WITHOUT having to take the gearbox cover etc off
- or am I doomed to a big job. The other thought is - could I get
the part welded on - there is room as the break is right at the
bottom of the thread. The leather lever cover will cover the
joint. Thank you in advance for your replies which I do hope are helpful.
Incidentally there was big 1950 Daimler convert able there. Original
paint and everything. Looked like it just came out of the showroom -
Brilliant !!
Regards,
Barrie Robinson
