O.K.

I have re fitted the shifter lever to the column with a new spring and built the whole lot up on the bench and it's all good....but

The pivot holes on the casting are worn so I have no problem with the roll pin in the actual lever but the casting gives it nasty play.

I really need to go up a size in roll pin, which I have plenty of but the lever is hardened so I cant just drill it out...

Any suggestion?

Drill out what mate, the lever?

If it is, it can be drilled out, hardened or not. You need the right bit, a pillar drill for stabillity. very low speed and plenty of cutting compound/lubricant. Failing that, take it to an engineering shop. Small job.

I use the "sharp bit, grit your teeth and press hard" method for those sort of jobs. Usually blunts the drill bit but gets through OK.

Yeah, I'm taking the engineering route.

I'm using the technology dept at work.

Thanks for your help guys
