Benn's on going build

Found on a longish drive i was having probs getting 5th gear. Thought it might be the cable hitting the linkage, till Dan noticed my gator was hitting the plastic on the gear stick..

Now seeing the Cav ones have a hard shaped base, i thought i'd copy it.

Take one ripped cover,

Cut the top off,

I then simply glued the leather gator over the top, so it keeps the shape..

Still not sure what to do on the gear box side tho....

Looks smart,

I'd stick with the f20 untill it gives up.... Or untill your current clutch gives up then it ll be time for f28 and a let clutch :)

That seems the sensible approach disco.

that gator look ****e !!!

just go to trimers and get a proper one made up :)

You prob wont see the very bottom part when its fitted though iirc.

Tbh that is what i'm thinking about, the clutch does slip when i nail it in 5th..
Might just start buying the bits up so its ready when i wanna do it.

Why? Nova Gators are just a soft cover.. The bottom bit you can see you wont as the console sits over all that. Its there just for shape.

like yours and then sell it alllol

Definately go f28 without question imo. What disco says makes economical sense. If its already slipping then just do it!

Paddle clutch friction plate ftw..
