It’s a funny shape when laid out flat.
The rear carpets go there, over the original furry under-carpet sound deadener (loose), in my case.
Yep done that, what a difference. You can imagine an 'Arthur Daley' charging £350 for a gearbox rebuild!Just did one of those rare heaven-sent jobs that is both easy to do and makes a real difference - installed new shifter bushings!
See the quantity of slop I was dealing with:
The old bushings just weren't even there - must have split apart and fallen off the car.
So all I had to do was put the 2 little plastic bushings into the gear stick, pop the pin back through and get the c clip back on (by far the trickiest bit). I gave the inner rubber boot a good clean - pretty much the only intact bit of rubber on the whole car - and also installed a new outer rubber boot as the old one was split..

And now, behold - she's as tight as she was in '76 (oo-er)!:
