Hi All,

I'm in the process of renewing the bushings on my gearbox cross shaft but the kit doesn't come with the cover thing (circled in red). Are these available anywhere? (UK).

The one in your link is the wrong one for your trans. Yours uses a 16mm cross shaft, the one in the link is for a 20mm shaft. The years it fits is wrong in your link. Should say 73-79. 72 and earlier is a 16mm shaft.

What's wrong with cleaning up your original one?

That's what I've ended up doing.....as you correctly pointed out.....it was the wrong size.

I've also damaged the new sleeve trying to get it in. I think i'll get a heavy duty set so that I've got a better chance of hammering it in without damaging it?
