Note also that there is a rather nice leather 'glove' that fits over the rubber concertina boot available from the MGOC, I got a black one, but they
may have them in other colours also.

It's a bit more than a big chunk of sea, there's also a fairly big chunk of land in the way.
I am on the left coast!

Hi Alex i only make it £7 + 1.56 postage wheres the £10.50 come from
the ring is quite contoured and does not easily form to the radius of the
gearbox tunnel top, I did try (not too hard) then went back to the plywood
flat insert under the carpet, even trying to roll it, it wants to kink at the fixing holes
happy motoring Peter
