[Healeys] Side Shift Lever Bush

[Michael Salter]

Hi Mike,
The circlip is is made of pretty thin round wire, I don't think it is a
standard part.
You may be able to make one from one of the cheepo key rings that come with
the keys for a padlock BUT a better solution is to get the bush from an
early MGB (Moss #461-110) it is made of plastic like the ones for a BJ8 but
will fit on the smaller ball on the earlier shift levers.
