Rallyspit Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Just replacing my 3rail box with an overdrive single rail. Can anyone tell me where I can get a suitable rubber gaiter - and any suggestions on how to fit it. It would seem it has to stretch a long way to get over the gearstick anti-vibration weight thingy.

Paudman Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Soften it with gentle heat and stretch it over the obstruction with an expander saucy as a CV joint boot tool. Just make sure it stretches without tearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I have used a TR7 gaiter in the past. There is a specific rubber boot for the single rail box, little short thing. It sits inside the sewn in gaiter. Or if you are not worried about originality. you can improvise, have a trawl through evilbay for idea. I used an MGB gaiter with chrome ring on my zetec spitfire with T9 box, but I think the gaiter would be too short for your application.

WIMPUS Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Those single rail gaiters are pretty rare ( as not made new) 🤔I noticed i had it missing and my gearstick was getting warm on long journeys + some fumes .. I found people that sold old ones in the Netherlands, but for 20£ and more 🙁Eventually found one 30 min from my door & got it for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
