Hi there,

Is it just the gear knob you need? If so I've got on.

Danny you sure it's just the knob, when you were talking to me the other day it was the stick not the knob you wanted.

Hi Danny,

I sent you a message last night. I've got a photo but not sure how to post it on here. It's a small machined ali one in green. Doesn't go with the orange and yellow buggy so is free to a good home.

I can bring it to stoneleigh or post it.

Yeah Lee old buggy. Been out in it today. Took it to work, theres a few old mini drivers there and then had a blast around the back lanes after work.
Just starting to get used to driving it again. The pot holes around here are a bit of a problem, nearly had it in a ditch going round a corner  Grin. I've got 18lb in the fronts tyres as anything less leads to tyres deflating but this may be too much.

Only problem I've got is the speedo don't work, it's one of those push bike ones. Think the contact in the holder is a bit corroded.

Yeah, I think he used a lot of new parts looking at all the receipts.

The idea is to use some black roll cage padding on the cage and then put black ali plate on the sides and gradually convert it to balck / yellow. Will strip the front off in the winter and get it powder coated black. I don't want to spend a lot of money cos at the end off the day if I ever sell it it's only going to be worth £1500.
