Hi Guys,
Sorry, I've only just seen this thread was replied to. I 'thought' I had put it all back together correctly, however i'm now doubting it.

There are two bolts, one is longer then the other. I put the longer bolt in on the right hand side rather then the left. Should it be on the left?

 

The bolt slid into the gear stick groove fine and doesn't do a 360 or anything.

Admittedly I haven't had a chance to take it for a spin yet but seems to select gears ok.

 

HELP :)

Thanks for all your help.

I'm doing the exact same thing to mine. Took the kad stick off, screwed the 8mm bolts that come with the kad stick back into the selector unit and now putting the original stick back on. Like said above mine is doing a full 360. Will have a read of the comment on previous page to see if I can stop it spinning 360

The problem is when you fit a standard stick back in the standard dowls that tapped into the alloy housing, the right hand one had a pair of flats on it that fitted into the slot on the ball of the gear lever that stops the stick doing a 360.
 
What I did when I removed mine was tap the alloy to 6mm in the 2 holes the pins were in and use 2 6mm bolts. The left one just screws in the correct length to prevent the ball jamming, the right one i reduced the tip down to fit in the slot on the gearstick, this bolt was longer and I fitted a 6mm nut on it, insert the stick, slide the top cover on and insert the 6mm left hand bolt with locktight and just nip up, the right hand fit the 6mm bolt with the reduced peg into the stick slot, now wind the bolt in until you feel it binding on the ball of the stick, now back it off to allow propr gear selection and then lock up with the nut with locktight on threads and nut.

Reference your comments

So basically I need to put a nut onto the end of the right bolt so that the but sits in the slot?
Will this stop it doing a full 360?

You need to take your stick  out and see if the right bolt has a peg on the end which fits into the slot on the stick to stop it doing a 360, if yours is not long enough just get another longer bolt and file a peg on the end and use a nut to lock it up at the right depth, this is done when the tin upper cup is clipped over the 6mm bolts

 

Re-read my second paragraph again it explains the above in depth, if you have issues I'll ring you if you PM me your number James

Yeah I'm missing a "peg" on the end of the right bolt.

That explains the 360 on the stick
