If that ball slips onto a little sleeve then one of my bushes might possibly work? If you want to try out one of my bushes I'd be happy to refund you the £7 if/when you send it back to me. I'd be willing to do that for anyone on here as a matter of fact :smiley:

However, in the time I've been here I've never known rubjonny to be wrong! :laugh:

anytihng with a 1.4 engine has them, such as the mk3 1.4s, theyve got the same, and a p reg ibiza in ym scrappy has the same in v good nicker.. tempted to try a swap, afaik theres jut a single screw on the underside and the shift finger can be swapped with he ball intact etc

the ball is a solid lump o rubber, so to make the relay shaft fit, you would need to chop it out to just the right width.  But even then the shaft bush may not be the right size, and EVEN THEN it wouln't work because the 1.3 ball needs to be round cos it pivots from side to side, and the relay bush you have is square  :grin:
