DesNoble Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Does anyone know where I can get a good gaiter/grommet for my gearbox cover (gear leaver). The one I got supposedly from one of the regular suppliers was rigid and split after about eighteen months. Moss' number is 603065 although I didn't get it from Moss.

ianc Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 They are pretty rigid when brand new. Before fitting, immerse in hot water to soften - water needs to be pretty hot! That's what I did with a Moss 603065 in July 2019, and it's still intact. In case anyone queries why my TR4 uses a TR3 gaiter, it is because the gear lever is a Works' special, and rises vertically from the box, not leaning backwards.

Lebro Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 My 1st one did not last very long, it was from the TR shop (usualy very good products) current one was from Rimmers about 2 years ago, & so far so good. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) My gaiter split where the gearstick comes through so I fitted a gaiter for a dipstick from an Mg to it. I cut the top off to get the stick through them pushed it down over the top of the split Cut off the bit that the MG dipstick would fit through as smeared red Been on there working fine for best part of 10 years now. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222282936107?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-153316-527457-8&mkcid=2&itemid=222282936107&targetid=4584757337443029&device=m&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=554427144&mkgroupid=1298524317493059&rlsatarget=pla-4584757337443029&abcId=9313282&merchantid=87779&msclkid=337b605972161045a42405551f5b81b3 Edited September 21, 2023 by BlueTR3A-5EKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DesNoble Posted September 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Thanks for the replies so far. Peter your dipstick gaiter fits over the centre part of the original gaiter? Des. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just get the hole for you gear stick neatly cut so it does not split when pushed over the gearstick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
