[Healeys] Shifter Shaft Buffer Pad

[Rick Swain]

I recall discussion of this item some time ago but can't find anything in the
archives and wasn't paying attention because my gearbox was in the car and
working well. Now the gearbox is out of the car (as is everything, and I mean
everything, else) and I have discovered there is no buffer pad in the bell
housing recess where it's supposed to be. The part AEC3298 (Moss number
031-339) appears to be unavailable. It's a BN4 sideshift gearbox. Can anyone
tell me how thick this buffer is and what sort of material it's made from?

Thanks
