After a long search and scrounge with no success i dicided to make the gear selector horse shoe shaped relay. I now have my MK2 back home outside the workshop and stripping parts off for patterning, so this was the first part to be done. I made it in 3 parts on the lathe first, the shaped them and welded it all together. i know from experience that these parts have to be spot on otherwise you can not select the gears. the first photo is half way through the process and the final one has the original under the new one. Im a bit pleased with the end product, but only fitting and running will prove if its any good.
