Hi John

You want parts 9 to 15 and a z3 1.9 shifter

Makes a world of difference once you've fitted the replacement parts as well. Night an day difference.

I think I have a short shifter in my parts pile, bought it ages ago for the blue car but for some reason couldn't fit it. Decided to leave the original in the Baur. If we can find it on 29th you can have it. Not keen on the slop in the Baurs linkage either so I may end up doing bushes on that with it attached to the car instead of before it all got put together!

I swapped the plastic washers with a slightly thicker metal one. This has reduced slop immensely.
