Gear control tube

Post by parisian62 »

I'm chasing a gear control tube for a manual that isn't flogged out.

Any leads appreciated.

The only spare one I have Stu is flogged out too :( .

I've heard of guys welding them up and then redrilling. I reckon there must be a market for a press-fit bush for these - drill out the flogged hole with a standard drill bit, then press (or tap) in a hardened reducing bush of some sort.

Cheers,

Sent you a text Stew. I'm having trouble with the PM function on Tapatalk since the last forum upgrade.
