I have had similar good service whilst building my convertible.
They do a good range of reasonably priced IVA compatible bits that have solved quite a few problems I have encountered.

I am looking for the small metal domed retainer ring that holds the gear lever in place. This is for a 1989 1275 but I think that they are all the same.
Can anyone help me out please?

I have checked - I used Wayside Adhesives. The primer and glue came to just less than £15
