shifter cover

original bedford have round knob at top, after market ones trend to use more the T bar type.

You could probably adapt one out of something else or make your own, just use  strip of something with hole in center for stick, slides just on slides

able is handy.. i nominate him!!!!! hahaha im driving to geelong on friday, if ive got time i might drop in..

shirfter selectors are a pain in the butt! i tried to adapt something on jak's van. in the end i ended up using one i had lying around and taking the clear bit out. heating up some perspex to replace it and writing my own markings on there. but it was a real nightmare. i cut and welded the linkages tring to get it to sit at the right place.

cheers
