Does any of you have a spare boot for the gear shifter for sale? It needs to be dark brown and in better condition than mine, i.e. no holes. (photo)

Also, does anyone have a spare (or know where a suitable replacement can be gotten) rubber boot for the bottom of the shifter for sale? (photo)

Hey Jon

In the spring, I had the same problem as you, even worse. I could'nt get it from Simons, so I had to resque the old rubber. I took an old bicycle tube (from a MTB), fitted it, and glued it all together.
It all works fine.

I think Jesper did that too to his, so I will give it a try. Smiley
I had originally superglued it together and then coated it with latex. Unfortunately the latex was not resistant to grese or silicone, so it came apart and turned sticky. Angry

It looks nice, leather too. But I want mine in dark brown. Do you know if T-Hansen has them in brown?

Hi Jeko.

I did not have any hose rubber to use for a fix, so I went an bought an innertube for a motorcycle. When I cut it to make the fix it struck me that thee fast and easy solution was to use a piece of the hose itself.

The diameter of my hose fit nearly perfect over the ring that holds the original boot. I stuck the piece of hose over the pipe, assembled the linkage and pulled the hose over the ring. Then I fastened it there with a strip and rolled up the excess around the pipe and secured it with another strip.

Not pretty, but it will do the job until I get the boot repaired.  Cheesy
