| Post subject: | Remote Change Rubber - There's a hole! |
Noticed last night after an oil change and degrease that there is a little hole (about the size of my little finger) in the seal at the front/gearbox side of the remote. I remember my Morris 1100 was forever in need of new 'sandwich plates', but just wondering if there's meant to be a hole or I need to replace the whole seal/rubber sandwich plate. If so, whats the proper name of this rubber bit so I can order one?

There is a "half moon" sort of shaped piece of rubber that goes in there. I don't know exactly what they call it but it shouldn't take much explaining to a supplier for them to know what you want. |

It goes in fairly easily. |

So does it just slip in or is it remote out? Thanks! Evan |

If I remember correctly you should be able to sneak it in with just loosening the remote and dropping it down a little. |

A while ago I needed one and was unaware they were still available. So I used some Selleys Allclear instead... `if it's selleys it works".

In 30 something years of playing with Minis and 1100s I have never ever had a seal in a remote. And I have never ever has a problem caused by it!

And I have never ever has a problem caused by it! It's more important to have that flat metal cover over the slots on top (above the bellcrank's cross pin). Not all remotes got this cover, those that don't have a magnetic attraction for nuts/bolts/washers/random bits that fall down the back. This can spoil your whole gearshifting experience...
