Steering column shroud is different on the later Spits so you can't use the two-arm version from the early cars or Heralds etc... original single-rail sticks come up for sale all the time although this guy surely must be having a laugh: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-OVERDRIVE-GEAR-LEVER-STICK-SHIFT-SHIFTER-KNOB-WIRES-DOLOMITE-3RAIL-1850/392333073321?hash=item5b58df9ba9:g:kuYAAOSwlQddJGNb
Thanks, I did see those ebay posts. I think the decimal point was put in the wrong place.

where do the wires go though?
As this homemade stick is solid, the wires just run up the side of the stick. There is no thread on top of the stick so the wires just get pressed against a gear knob which has been loosely fitted with a couple of side retaining screws.

So whats wrong with what you have ??
Pete
it’s been removed and replaced with a long, homemade straight rally type stick - a pretty shoddy job. Being straight, it makes it too close to the steering wheel when driving - my watch keeps catching it.

There is another option, and that is to use the "Rally" type knob. I have one, find it excellent to use. And can fit the STD gearstick (check with suppliers, there are several threads I believe)
Thanks Clive, I’ll give that a thought - where did you get it?

Pete - Yes, it is a single rail gearbox.
Thanks
