Thanks for that,
but I have one coming from HJ2 which as had very little use. But I do recommend someone buys it as these units are going to be a problem in the future.

Hi all,
Having now had Johns cables fitted and although I had to use the old gear lever assembly until the other one arrives, I have to give a big thumbs up to John.

I have been out on a 30 mile run and have had no problems at all. The gear selection is great although it feels different to what the Lotus cables felt like.It is hard to put into words but I will try.

The gear change feels more solid and robust and you actually feel the selection being made. I was quite happy with the original cables until they broke, but the gear change always felt a little imprecise especially 5th gear, but if Johns cables had felt the same, I would still have been more than happy, but they don,t, they feel are much better.

With the old cables you would aim it at 5th rather than select 5th, but with Johns you have to give a definite forward across and forward movement to select 5th from 4th, which is no problem, in fact it is how a gear ghange should feel.

As you select a gear you feel the lever come against a stop once it is selected, which I do not remember feeling before, this makes it feel so much more precise.

So I certainly recommend Johns cables, and a big thank you John you have really helped me out of the s**t, to be honest I am glad the cable broke as I now have a far better system.

Well done John
Thanks a lot
Ade
