Are you after one because yours has collapsed or because you want to rectify the jamming linkage problem that seems to plague all 3 on the tree HT/HGs?
If you only have the jamming linkage problem then I can tell you from experience that a new bush wont do as much as putting a radiator hose clamp around the bottom of the column below the bottom gear linkage will do more for it than a new bush.
If at first you dont succeed then skydiving is not for you. |

its got a hose clamp on it at the moment but the bush seems to float almost out of the shaft making it a bit more difficult to find first and reverse gears, do you think trying a new hose clamp would work?
thanks

I dont know whether a new hose clamp would work but when I re bushed the whole column on out HT 20 years ago when you could still buy the parts new the replacement lower bush was still quite loose.
My dad went to the trouble of boring out all of the linkage holes and making new oversised linkage rods on their HG in the early 80s but alas the gears still jammed if you were not careful doing 1-2 or 2-1 shifts.
