modified dash mk2

[magpies]

because of the gearbox problem I needed to access the area where the linkage joins to the gearbox shaft and the dash central console is in the way - as that part of the console was damaged previously (the whole dash is a lot crap anyway with the blue 'leather' peeling!)I cut it off. Now just carpeted I think it looks better than before. The new 'free issue' carpet looks better than' everything dark blue' too, although my carpet fitting skills didn't match the requirements. Work in progress as they say.

Hi Mick.
Have you put carpet onto the body, have had to do mine in two but going to cover both bits so it looks like one piece.

Yep just cut the carpet to shape and then spray glued into position. You can see the plate that has the gearleaver gaiter which is screwed down and has it's own carpet. Not quite as invisible as I intended, but allows access to the linkage.

Didn't get that. An MG TF???????

£8 ebay complete surround and gaiter. Could do with a new handbrake gaiter.....any ideas

Try Rhona , she made me a leather handbrake gaiter and gear lever gaiter , reasonable. I posted her number on here but cant find it again !. She normally does MX5 stuff , but has the pattern for S handbrake gaiters

Mick, which vehicle did you source the gear lever gaiter from?

You can't remove all those duplicate posts and then act all confused over the micky taking.

I think he can Stewart. And he did!
But we are here to make sure he didn't get away with it!

Hi All
So it's from a MG-TF so what's the big deal about it

Alan - they were just taking the P because my phone posted the TF reply 3 times and I hadn't realised until later when I removed the duplicates.

I would never take the P would I

Hi Mick
Missed that one, looks nice shame about the carpet colour.

Hi Magpies,

What glue did you use?

Best regards,

Hi Geoffrey,
Aerosol cans of spray adhesive are available from any good DIY shops or hardware stores.
Simple to use, just spray it on to the surfaces to be stuck together, allow a few minutes until it "tacks off", then join them and apply pressure.
Job done!
