Thanks for your help mate, got it pretty much sorted now.

I've cut away the bottom bit of the plastic, with the retaining clip on too, so it will hold the leather gator in place.

Just need to sort out the new gearknob now, as the hole tappers at the top, and is a bit tight.

I thought the original would just be a screw on job, and couldn't find anything in the haynes manual.

Thats cos they are made from cheap and nasty foam.
Get another one mate, and have a look at that DIY guide, its really well written, and easy to follow.
