RE: Gearshift Lever interchangability?

[Dean Cunningham <DeanC@domain.elided>]

FWIW
The gear knob and lever are available from Rimmers for 20 pounds each
+shipping

e Lever

I'm sure other triumph parts suppliers will have them available (i.e.
stag specialists, soc spares, etc), but at least you now have an idea of
cost

When I bought my replacement gear knob 4 years ago they were still
packed in Rover boxes (therefore inferring they are to original spec???)

Would pay to take your stag gear knob off and see if it has the same
thread as the TR3 lever. Then at least you would only have to get the
gear lever drilled out
