What a clot - I've lost a tiny part....

[MattWill]

I stupidly dismantled the F1 gearbox controller, to repaint some damage to the aluminium paint and then lost a tiny brass spacer/washer that is part of the reversing lever (2005 Spyder). It doesn't look as though I can buy this spacer/washer separately but have to buy the whole unit (67604327 or 67604328) for north of £1,000! There are some used ones on eBay for £500 but still crazy just to get a tiny part.

I attach photos - hoping someone's got a bright idea?

I might have one, will have to search the garage. alternatively buy the hill engineering upgraded lever, it doesn't need them.

Find local bloke with a lathe, take the one you’ve got and get a new one made in brass

Here you go; looks like a fairly standard Oilite

If you cannot find an exact, you can get one machined quite easily. They will supply raw bar to suit.

If that fits, some one owes someone a drink

And if it doesn’t fit, send me a sketch and I’ll make you one.

But whatever you do, don’t google ‘oil filled flange bush’.

You're safe my side of the Channel
Actually a good search and amazing what's out there too.

Hi, i bought the hill engineering lever two years ago and it works without a problem, it is made of one part aluminium
