I'm still working to get my 280 back on the road,the gear box has been removed,stripped and is now ready to go back on.My question is there was a small piece of foam on the underneath on the gearstick that needs replacing,I presume it was for sound deadening.The original had just disintegrated and I presume an original piece is no longer available,just wondering if anyone else has used replaced this in some way and what they used.
Many thanks

I did exactly this when I changed my gearstick, stuck the new one down with sealant on the tunnel.pbar wrote:Hi, this has been talked about on here now and again, here's a thread with some info for example, hope it helps.

Re: gearbox foam
I raised this before as in the link, I got hold of some foam, would now love to get hold of some idea what a complete one looks like as theres is nothing left of mine to go on. If any one has a phot or sketch even, that woudl be a big help.
