Type 9 Gearbox Linkage
Issue there was play in the gearlever so we purchased a quickshift kit, upon trying to fit we discovered it fits ok but the linkage is very weak and
has play in it there were a couple of bushes and washers plus retainers that have perished.
Any help identify the pieces and a source to purchase from as per the attached picture.
2 x bushes
2 x nylon sleeves
1 x copper clip
Or can i simply just replace the mechanism with a extension turret mechanism from Rally Design ?

It is the horizontal bar that i need and all the parts such as bushes etc
Please bear with me as i am a kit car novice - with little mechanical knowledge

So worked out that the remote linkage for the gearshift is attached to the old gearstick
Looks like a pretty Locost solution !
So the issue i now have is that the old gear lever is 12" from the position of the exisiting gear lever, the extension turret only moves this by
5 inches, will this work or will the gear lever be to far forward ?
Also what is the extension turret secured to ?
As my tunnel is covered in vinyl/ leather etc
Cheers
