Gear lever questions
 
Hi Guys(used non discriminantly) I have some questions about gear levers.
Which reverse lock out levers are British and which are Canadian?
There is a longer steel one and a short alloy one. I though the alloy one was Canadian, but not sure. They have a very small winged emblem cast on them that appears to have an "0" between the wings.
Maybe the alloy one is Ford? It looks pretty much the same as a Ford or Dodge truck lock out lever that was around for years.
I have other bits that vary from that linkage. First the dog at the bottom of the rod. Some are pressed steel, others are fully machined. Also the loop that puts downward pressure on the spring. Some are just a shaped bit of flat steel while I have another which is fully machined.
I will edit with some photos in the next day or so.

Quiz question:
Why is there a lock screw in the bottom casting that the gear lever lower ball locates in?

A couple of gear lever assemblies.
As you will see the lock outs are quite different. One gear lever has two holes at the top, while the other only one, so not interchangeable.
The alloy lift lever has a "0" at the center of a winged logo. One gear lever has a diamond with a "G" in it. I assume now, that these are all British?
The top one has a fully machined "Dog" while the lower one is pressed. The rod obviously has to be different as well, because of the clevis.

Back to my question: The lock screw holds the inner ball cup in the correct location, because when the cup rotates it restricts the gear lever travel and may cause the gear lever to break. (see weld at the ball on lower lever) I suggest you check your carrier.
