Have you any plans to make the 'top hat' bushes that the relay shaft turns in. The ball replacement fitted a treat but I's really like those 'top hats' in a similar material, they'll go nicely with my home made short shift  :cool:

Hmm, I'd love to do more stuff like that, there's another bush in particular closer to the gearstick, but I can't see it being worthwhile (apart from the kind feedback of course - I love you guys :cry::laugh:). GSF sell those top hats as part of their kit so you're not completely stuck - unlike the relay shaft bushes. And as has been said if you're can get the upgraded ones from the states if you're serious.

I once bought the kit for a Mk1 from GSF - and three month later bought a proper one from VW. So we won't be going there. Fair enough that it's not worth you doing them Mark. I quite like the look of the replacement for the orange selector shaft bush - the one in the riveted plate from Missinglinkz as well. I think if you're going to do a job you may as well do it all properly.

I agree. That riveted in orange one is the one I'm on about too :smiley: I'm genuinely tempted but they wouldn't be cheap enough and I can't see there being enough interest :sad:

I didnt bother with one of them from missing linkz, I just used the GSF one.  Not so hard to swap and the GSF ones seem to take the play out nicely!
Next on my list is the one at the other end in the shifter box, I'm not looking forward to that one  :grin:

Yeah the gsf one has the advantage that you can squeeze it in without taking out the rivets!
