Well, the 1500 one can be ruled out as a direct replacement for standard as it is too small and wouldn’t stretch successfully.
I’ll ask Chris Witor for some dimensions on the big saloon item...

https://www.mevspares.co.uk/GEAR-LEVER- ... 90&child=0 This looks very similar...I've ordered one for comparison with the NOS one I have that I was going to use as a pattern for reproduction... |

It is a replacement for the 1500 one and if it is identical to the original part, it will fit over the gear stick. I used the 1500 part for my Sprint conversion. However I custom made my own metal mounting plate for the gear gaitor and plastic surround. So I don't know if it will fit the proper Sprint part. |

Stag, T2000 and Sprint (730405), although slightly different from each other, are these not interchangeable? https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-715382 https://www.chriswitor.com/proddetail.php?prod=708311RM Mark one 2000s have the rubber gaiter on show and, before Chris Witor had these remade, I had seen Stag or Sprint ones suggested as alternative options.

I got it to fit, a bit difficult to get on but it does work.

I am pretty sure that the Stag one will fit. The Sprint and Stag use the same retaining ring. I also heard a rumour Grimmer am looking at remanufacture. |

Hardly surprising, as I mentioned the gear lever gaiter in my original post about 1/4 light rubbers that someone at Rimmer's obviously read, but to date despite promises to the contrary, they have yet to act upon! 30 October is their latest 'promise'??? I also heard a rumour Grimmer am looking at remanufacture. Meanwhile, the Club funded scheme for slightly more expensive ones would have seen delivery to members prior to the lockdown commencing back in March. |

Just picking up on this thread.. Is anyone able to offer a suitable alternative gearbox gaiter that would fit or could be used to replace one on an early Sprint please? Have seen/read other threads that suggest that a Stag one might do the job but was wandering if anyone had any other potential options that I could consider? Any ideas/suggestions welcomed.. I have the original Sprint sealing ring so that isn't an issue... Thanks in advance..... |
