[ROVERNET - UK] Gearshift lever repair

[Alice and Ian Potts]

You need a ball?  for the lower end of the gearshift? Buy a Y-connection for 
a normal garden hose, about $2.00 Canadian.  Using a hacksaw, carefully chew 
away the outer plastic cover of the connecter, releasing TWO plastic balls. 
Grind off the end of the gearshift lever that has a small raised diameter, 
drill out one of the balls and snag it on with epoxy (liquid steel). 
Guarantee it works!  Ian Potts.  P. S.  If you nick the first ball, you have 
a second chance.....!
