My mini has a piston gear knob. Looks pretty cool, I believe its been filled with resin and tapped, as Guessworks suggested.

Alternatively you could just fill the piston with resin then prop the gearstick in it. It wont budge once it goes off. If you want a gaiter make sure its on first though

There will be pictures of it fitted all nice n sorta shiney when the sun is out 2moro.

Cheers for all the help.

can i see a piccy??

surely if u fill it wit resin it wont come off again? or does it just unscrew after its made a mould of the gearstick?
