Carl's k-series MG Midget
constructing surround
This is how I constructed the new surround for the gearstick. lost the MG original part somewhere in my attic.... it's still there I guess. I measured the Ford rubber gaiter and bent some steel sheet (using the tubular part of my engine hoist as a mandrel, which just happened to be the right radius). Folded the top over and splurged it with filler. I know you're not convinced by this pic but it came out really well...
