Glad you like the work chaps :thumbup:
Ade, it was a bit of fun, and we talked a bit of general carp while we worked.... So all's good :)
Funny, the only thing about that flipped pic' is my ghostly tag on it is backwards.... Other than that you'd struggle to tell it'd been flipped!
Only driven on the wrong side once, a weeks holiday with a LHD astra. My left knuckles kept getting bashed with tying to change gear in the door pocket! :palm:
The brian's an impressive tool but it'll go wrong all week when you're trying to change the programming! :lol:
Ralph.

Ade - is perchance the big / cold / (heavy?) gear knob for when Mr C.V. is driving and then swap for a lightweight plastic one when Mr. A.V. is driving? :coffee:

Hehe, hadn't thought of that....
Actually, the problem we were trying to solve was the old gearstick used to foul the cutout when going for 4th gear, so it didn't always snick in. But as it turned out, even with the old plastic one cut away & the new shiny aluminium one in place, the problem remained; it turned out there wasn't enough movement in the ball joint... so the final fix was to cut the gear linkage (seen at the bottom of the bucket in the first pic, the bronze coloured item with a sticker on it) in half, and weld it back together 1/4" longer... that fixed it a treat :)
I prefer the look of the ali ball over the original item, I have to say...
