What is the cover/guide called that goes around the high/low selector lever

[srjcox]

Good evening all.

A quick question, my series 2a is missing the ?metal? guide cover/gaitor that the high/low selector (yellow knob) goes through, so the whole arrangement is just flapping around.

The gear/4wd/handbrake are all rubber gaitors, but I think I'm right in saying this is a metal bracket/guide.

Does anyone know what it is actually called, as I can't find a replacement one online. A link would be super helpful if anyone knows!

Am looking for the item and the fixings for it.

Thank you!

This piece?

Yea that's the one Nathan.

Great thank you Geoff (and no I don't, sorry!!)

There are at least 3 on Ebay at the moment, one of which I have just found described as
"Land Rover Series cover plate for 4 wheel drive rod".
They are all about £25 each.

No need to be sorry I was just curious and certainly not judging.

You can get a free PDF from the web @  http://www.smithies.co.nz/land_rover/

I'd suggest downloading a copy of anything of interest just in case the site ever goes down permanently.

Do you have the little guide/cup thing for the spring?

A suitably sized washer does the job if the OP is missing his. My offer for the one I posted a pic of still stands

I like that gear lever gaiter in Larry S's post above.  I can't get my hard rubber gaiter to fit properly.

I bought a new original Series 3 petrol sender unit for about £35 from them recently. Far superior to the dreadful Britpart things.
