IIRC you still need your hubs machined slightly to fit the group n bearing.

Works out a little stronger this way although i have never broken a machined chris astley flange.

Nope its been broken for parts.

Quaife stick looks nice and should provide a more positive shift.

I will have a idea what mods are needed once i have it. I will need to possibly split the box and have a different rod made up to replace the one that goes into the gearbox.

The following is a list of parts to fit the Quaife gear lever.

Gear lever
Gear linkage adjuster (side to side movement)
Gear linkage rod short
gear linkage rod long
Gear linkage special joints x 3
Weld in bulkhead housing
Alloy bearing housing (this bolts into the weld in bulkhead housing)
Bearing

You would also need a turret top if you are not using the Quaife heavy duty turret top.
