Just seen this.

I'm in slight awe of your ability to rationalise.

If I can help (by knocking up a functional, if not pretty hanger and
gear lever) let me know. I'd need to get hold of the originals to
measure and compare.

Having just seen the prices of replacement parts, that may well be an
option. £43 for the little bracket and the same again for the gear lever
and that's aftermarket suppliers, not even genuine parts.

Yow!

If you can get the parts to me, I can get something ugly but functional
out in a couple of days.
