No, I wouldn't.

Does a similar thing, but B&M is the best.

Yes.

It replaces everything in the shift assembly except the 2 rods (one is rigid and never goes wrong, the other has a UJ and this rod can be bought from Ford for under £30). The bottom part of the original casing is used too.

ive tried on here mate to fill my slot as im not going to be able to make it two possibles? but book over it if you can, im really sorry to do this but with no brakes im not going to be able to drive till its sorted.

They are easy to fit, but its the setting up thats tricky. It will either be spot-on first time or you'll have to have several attempts at getting the linkage right.

It's worth persisting though, as once it's right, it will be excellent to use.

I have already posted on my thread in the Traders Section stating that there will be a run of these available in April. I am likely to start a confirmed order situation as this may well be a one-off.
