not even close to 50 quid lol.

people pay top dollar for of the shelf parts.

manta big wing sump kits for example, 180 quid to buy already done.
and the steel would be 10 quid max, welding it maybe half an hour.

supply and demand lol.

^^ Yup, people can't be arsed/don't know how to make bits like this so if it comes up for sale then they jump on it. Although saying that £102 is a bit ridiculous.

I think its a GE quickshift, quite rare now as they weren't the strongest I have been told. I have a new one I bought a few years back, I paid about £45 for iirc. Need to get it fitted to the Sport & try it out.

Correct, it is a GE quickshift linkage. The rose joints are a funny size and quite difficult to get hold of. I replaced the ones on mine and it wasn't cheap.

looks like the same ball joints as the ones found on the throttle linkage for a carb. Failing that the hydraulic ram on the boot. ;)
