Gear lever modification.

The Rover SD1 gearlever had to be modified to fit the MGB transmission tunnel. As it sits about 25mm too far back and slightly to one side.

The top image is the MGB gear lever, and the SD1 at the bottom.

This is the completed modified gear lever. I cut the lever at the base then welded an extension bracket onto the stub and aligned the lever so that it was central in the transmission tunnel aperture, then welded the top section on, this image also shows the dust cap that I had to make to cover the ball. I will fit a leather 'MG' gear knob when it gets installed in the car.
