Internal gear linkage floor grommet
Turbo Mini Forums

Folks,

What are you guys using to seal up the floor around where the rod goes through the floor?

I wondered if one of these would be a good idea? http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/f...l-grommet-seals

It won't work mate I had a go with one of them, this was one of them cut and hope things when I. did it

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Sorry Simon I don't understand what you are saying?

That seal in the pic you posted,I had the same idea and its still in the shed. As the hole is on a 45' to the shaft and the floor is not flat there to. I ended up cutting a box in to the floor.

Ah, I get you now. I had wondered the same. I do have some neoprene sheet on a roll that I could fashion one from I think, but I just thought the Demon thieves one looked tidy.

Anyone else got any photos of what they have done?

Gear Stick Gaitor or an Old Innter Tube Cut to shape and Riveted to the floor.

This is another idea ive seen on a couple of migs, it uses a steering rack gaiter too.

I supose it depends where you mount the selector housing inside, but I managed to use an old Mk1 porridge stirrer gear stick gaitor, in the place it was designed to fit. Looks like it was supposed to be

Ahh good thinking colin, never thought of that.

could you not use the mk1 magic wand surround?

I reckon the mk1 gaiter is the best solution. Shouldn't be too dufficult to fit either.

Cheers folks, just been working on it now and the floor is a really odd shape where my selector rod goes through, I'm going to have to smack it around some more to get some clearance. I'll buy a mk1 type one and hope that it covers the mess I am about to make :(
