When you say won't fit, just what do you mean ?

you also need the plastic gear that the square end of the cable goes into, several different colours for different ratios - allowing for different ratio diffs.

the connection is completely different as per this photo.

when i received the van it was simply screwed in by a cover but no connection was being made.

Cheers,

Ross.
