gear gaitor

[jon haines]

Does anyone know were the rubber gear gaitor on a wedge comes from, mine has split in several areas and is knackered.

I bought one off e-bay three or four years ago. I've had a look at my history but it's too long ago to check but I think it was a Sierra one, definitely Ford though. I had a browse on there but can't see one unfortunately. Steve

Hmm, well I did a search for Sierra gearlever gaiters and the one that most commonly appears isn't what's on my car. I recall it being a rectangular base with the bellows section offset to one end. The gaiter was marked Diesel one end and Petrol the other with arrowheads, I asssume to point forwards (on the Sierra). I tried mine both ways and I think it fit best with Diesel to the front.
ISTR I got mine from a TVR dealer (one of about three occasions where I used them!).

ETA I wonder if it's the lower bit of this one (held down by the cast bracket)...

When fitting I trimmed off some of the base and cut some thin aly to hold is down with self tappers.

Well mines not off a sierra looking at those and comparing to mine. Could it be a case of what they could get hold of at the time or does it not really matter?

Took mine off recently and it said 'diesel' on it...!!

Mine is exactly the same as yours. I recall there being two types when I bought mine but it could have been mislabelled. I've done a few more searches and still can't see one for you so maybe it's a case of waiting for one to turn up.
