| As the Sabb gears need to be held in place, I had to figure out a way of either using levers and linkages, or maybe gearwheels and chains but I came up with a simpler long sprung steel lever. |
 |
| I cut a slot in the lower cockpit shelf and added notched sections of chopping board, to hold it in neutral, forward and reverse. |
 |
| It worked a treat, the lever springing into the various slots but, as it was so long, it vibrated badly, the solution was to make a second shelf, also with notches. |
 |
| A proper gearchange!! |
 |
| I decided to carve the Sabb logo into the top shelf. Also pictured is the newly restored brass water pump, unrecognisable from the tarnished and rust streaked lump that I started with. |
