In the meantime I find that 5th gear isn't really needed round our way, and I'm headed onto the M40 tomorrow morning and I'll be able to get my co-driver to hold the wheel while I try to find it. it's about 6 inches across to the right, I think


You might find a Quickshift conversion helps. It made a huge difference to the Ford Type 9 box on my car.
