Central gear stick console.

Hi me again.
I have scoured the net to find the cemntral console, in good condition.
It appears that these are as rare as rocking horse manure mixed with a good dose of hens teeth. Mine has the lugs for the gearstick missing and whilst trying to fix it I have snapped and cracked the main chassis going towards the front ashtray.
Does anyone have a spare??
Oh forgot to say its the manual version although I doubt that the auto is much different at all.
Heres hoping.
 
it couldnt be reinforced with hidden alloy fittings (strips of alloy etc)underneath - hidden when you put all the stuff back?
Not really, tried to hide some screws to hold the gear gaiter, thats when it snapped. It doesnt look TOO bad, and will suffice until i find a good one.
 
I didnt find that earlier when i looked.
Wins were out of stock along with MGBD
These breakers are asking top dollar for their items, and this console is a bit grubby to say the least.... but there again when you are looking for a particular needle you cant afford to be too choosy.
I will wait a bit first though.
 
As you have found the plastic is very brittle and needs to be handled with care. Don't use self tapping screws for a repair as they will split the plastic, needs a thread cutting screw or tap any holes that you wish to screw into.

I wish you had posted this before my attempts, oh well you live and learn.

As for the Ebay item, i asked the breakers if they could show me the rear specifically the securing lugs. They couldnt supply as the item is stored elsewhere, and at 83 quid i am not wanting to buy. It could be as bad as the one i have as they don't specify the condition.
 
I am looking for the same item. If Dean doesn't want yours, Preedster, may I have second dibs on it?

Good luck on fitting yours MrTask. You are welcome to this one as I managed to get one. As mentioned in a previous post these things are very fragile and brittle. I have not sourced replacement clips yet so if you find a good replacement then let me know.
