Gear Linkage

[kbf71]

I have a standard Nova gear linkage to the F13CR box in my GTE. A nylon bush in the linkage has broken, and I have temporarily repaired it by trapping the remains of the bush in position with cable ties... This actually allowed me to complete 2 long trackday runs, but it needs fixing properly for piece of mind!

Are the linkages off any other models the same as the Nova linkage? I was told to check the Corsa C unit but Im not sure. It has to at least look the same as the original linkage as my championship rules require me to use 'standard parts' so there can be no quickshift kit used! So I need some info: can i use the linkage off any other Vaux models, or do I need to track down a Nova part?

Also, if anyone has a standard Nova linkage in good cond. (especially the bushes!) for sale, please let me know! :D

The bushes are no longer available from Vauxhall & this is a pain. If you touch them they disintegrate.

Can you rosejoint it? Assuming the linkage isnt modded, it will offer no advantage other than avoid the zip-tie bodge.

What the little spherical bushes or the central pivot bush that sits in the gearbox mount?

That has all of the standard dimensions, but with less play and more resilience.

Looks good. I think I'll try and get hold of rose-joint part to use, and copy it with my old one for a spare!
